Title: Science of being and art of living. Transendental. Meditation
Product review: I became a TMer 5 months ago. After attending a few events with speakers and video tapes of the Maharishi, I wanted to know more about him and TM. Well, this book accurately mirrors the movement. Repleat with vague platitudes, confusing jargon and tautolological thinking this reader hungered for a few facts. To bolster the value of meditation -which basically is getting a mantra and meditating on it twice a day for 20 minutes- quantum physics are employed. The meissner effect is a springboard for the Maharishi effect which proports to insulate environments from negative forces by creating a positive protective force by a number of meditators practicing TM in unison. Natural Vedic law, yogic flying and a lot of hippie talk make this book a good advertisement for TM being cultish. I really wanted to swallow the koolaide but choked instead.
