Do TMers Have Real Spiritual Experiences?

An important question. And one I believe readers must answer for themselves. I know that I experienced things I can't explain, but which appeared to meet the criteria for spiritual experiences as related in the Indian scriptures.

But I also know that the Transcendental Meditation Orgs – and their master, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi – consistently fail to live up to the simplest spiritual truths of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, even Hinduism.

This remains a mystery to me. Please take a moment to share your thoughts on this topic by clicking on "Comments" below.

[A] bad guru can be extremely good for a sincere devotee…. It's the main reason so many bad gurus do good business. They are merely idols upon which sincere devotees project their own divinity, with sometimes seemingly miraculous results.
