I was taught in TM in the early 1990's.  I have been meditating for a while and have since gravitated towards other techniques.

I agree with Ramu that TM has appears to be kind of a scheme.  They seem to like to constantly advertise all the movie stars and celebrities that practice the technique.

I believe the TM movement has done some great things with respect to increasing the awareness of meditation, research and introducing meditation to high risk segments of the population.

Knowing what I know now I am not sure I would have taken the TM course.  

I just think that charging for something that could lead to an Awakening or possible Enlightenment cheapens the concept.  Its what's referred to as "Popular Spirituality".  Give me a break!

Agreed Ramu.
