To achieve this state of perfect balance, Maharishi Ayur-Veda [now]advocates 20 complementary approaches. When used together, the 20 approaches of Maharishi Ayur-Veda ensure perfect health for the individual, the family, the nation, and the world. 52
Individuals not practicing the TM program are expected to learn this as part of their Maharishi Ayurveda Health program. 54
The TM technique is a simple mental repetition of a sound or "mantra."55
The TM movement claims that only specific "sounds" can be used, and that the selection of sounds is based upon a trade secret. 56
The mantra is given in a private "initiation" ceremony, or "puja," [worship to Lord Narayana, the lotus born Brahma, the creator... the whole galaxy of gods pray for perfection... guru is god] in which the initiate brings fresh fruit, flowers and a new handkerchief, to be offered to a picture of Maharishi's deceased "Master" in an incense-filled, candlelit room. 57
The recruit is warned not to reveal the mantra because it is destructive of the teaching and will weaken the process of TM. A similar degree of secrecy is found throughout Maharishi's teachings. 58/59
The instructor, or "initiator" who has signed an oath of loyalty to Maharishi, gives the deliberate impression that there are very large numbers of mantras, and that each meditator receives a mantra which is uniquely suited to his personality, health, feelings, education, profession and marital status. 60/61
Court documents have shown that the "secret" mantra formula consists of a limited number of words associated with Hindu deities, including:
In an internal document Maharishi says: "For training the mind through sound we can take any word, even the word 'mike.' For our purpose we select only the suitable mantras of personal gods." 63
Many scholars verify that TM is a religion. 64 /65 /66 /67

COST: $390 (now $1,000 -ed)

(Excerpted)
To achieve this state of perfect balance, Maharishi Ayur-Veda [now]advocates 20 complementary approaches. When used together, the 20 approaches of Maharishi Ayur-Veda ensure perfect health for the individual, the family, the nation, and the world. 52
1. Approaches from Consciousness
Development of higher states of consciousness through Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation [TM], its Advanced Techniques, and the TM-Sidhi Programme. 53Individuals not practicing the TM program are expected to learn this as part of their Maharishi Ayurveda Health program. 54
The TM technique is a simple mental repetition of a sound or "mantra."55
The TM movement claims that only specific "sounds" can be used, and that the selection of sounds is based upon a trade secret. 56
The mantra is given in a private "initiation" ceremony, or "puja," [worship to Lord Narayana, the lotus born Brahma, the creator... the whole galaxy of gods pray for perfection... guru is god] in which the initiate brings fresh fruit, flowers and a new handkerchief, to be offered to a picture of Maharishi's deceased "Master" in an incense-filled, candlelit room. 57
The recruit is warned not to reveal the mantra because it is destructive of the teaching and will weaken the process of TM. A similar degree of secrecy is found throughout Maharishi's teachings. 58/59
The instructor, or "initiator" who has signed an oath of loyalty to Maharishi, gives the deliberate impression that there are very large numbers of mantras, and that each meditator receives a mantra which is uniquely suited to his personality, health, feelings, education, profession and marital status. 60/61
Court documents have shown that the "secret" mantra formula consists of a limited number of words associated with Hindu deities, including:
- Shiama=Krishna,
- Aing=Sarasvati,
- Hiring=Shiva,
- Kiring=Kali,
In an internal document Maharishi says: "For training the mind through sound we can take any word, even the word 'mike.' For our purpose we select only the suitable mantras of personal gods." 63
Many scholars verify that TM is a religion. 64 /65 /66 /67
COST: $390 /68 (now $1,000 -ed)
TM Advanced Techniques add the words 'shri' [O most beautiful] and 'namah' [I bow down] as prefix and/or suffix to the basic mantra.
