This short vídeo tells about how the founder of the Transcendental Meditation Movement His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi had fathered children. He was no celibate monk as many claimed he was. One close associate of the founder claimed Maharishi’s passport contained a line about his occupation in which it was written “Bal Brahmachari” meaning monk....
In the following video, the world-famous comedian and actor acts out various kinds of kings. From the benign king to the mad king, and even a king hatching a plot. Since the TM kingdom also has kings called Rajas, we must ask what kind of kings are they individually and as a group? What have...
Let’s face it, David Lynch is an ARTIST, and artists can do whatever they want. Freedom of expression derived from freedom of speech is a constitutional right of every person. This is a basic – some say God-given – right expressed in many national constitutions, especially in the United States Constitution. In capitalism the invisible...
Today we will introduce a Youtube video from the WHY FILES series. It tells the history of an innovative yet shady kind of business and its marketing arm, which was set up as an immersive cult-like experience created by Jeff Hull, a multi-millionaire artist in San Francisco. The accidental cult was called the Latitude Society...
Let me introduce a document here, which can be downloaded from our site: “A volunteer can choose between receiving a monthly stipend of 230 euro or 270 euro credits (+50 euro cash). The credits can then be used for Advanced Techniques, courses, Maharishi Ayurveda treatments.” Sounds like a company town to me! What were the...
In recent weeks a Facebook group has erupted in discussions about Maharishi’s private life. Was he a monk like he said he was? Did he have girlfriends like some say? Was he celibate or did he have sex? As many know these kinds of rumors have plagued the TM movement for decades. However, in recent...
This book truly provides the sight of Maharishi in his element, in his native India. This picture book was published in 1986 and is unique. As the introduction to the book states,„The language of the book is image. Words only have an explanatory and illustrative function.”. To those who knew Maharishi in the 1960s it...
A few days ago I was informed that RajaLeaks.org has been mildly criticized by some members of the “TM: The Next Generation” Facebook group. Their Facebook group is membership-only, and therefore their discussion about TMO and the GCWP transpires behind the closed doors of the forum. The complaint was that RajaLeaks is a public website...
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and surveillance becomes more pervasive, it is of utmost importance for the leaders of the TM kingdom, the rajas, to maintain a clean financial record. Any bad behavior or financial irregularities on the part of the leaders of the TM kingdom not only reflect poorly on them personally but...
Susan Shumsky a former TM teacher wrote a delightful book in 2018 detailing her experiences in the TM movement. The subtitle of the book is “Seeking Enlightenment with the Beatles Guru”, and includes many color photos of her Rishikesh days in India. Like many, she was also forced to leave the TM movement, and after...
What is baffling is the great divide between the internal operation of the organization calling itself the Global Country of World Peace, and the outward marketing of the organization calling itself the TM organization. You wouldn’t suspect anything is wrong if you just looked at official TM websites, for example, www.tm.org, or read any of...
Gentle reader do you remember the International Meditation Society organizations? Maharishi set them up in many countries to teach TM, promote the knowledge, and have an organization the teachers could belong to. Its sister organization was the Students International Meditation Society which operated on college campuses and other education venues. The IMS or SIMS organizations...
Although it might not seem important, this little menu could have a great influence on the TM movement and the GCWP. You see, this is where will we put those articles which describe ways to improve the organizations, by making concrete suggestions for improvement. These suggestion posts would naturally be seen under the “Improvements: Suggestions”...
