New technology creating new basic assumptions at all levels for all enterprises Is wholly destructive if new objectives are not orchestrated with the (cont. p. 6 col. 6-7) Tlw organization called SIMS, o r Student International Meditation Society was found ed several years ago by tlw Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, from India, and designed to “ save the w orld” thru the a rt and science of meditation. They say his guru or teacher in India maintained silence 60 or 70 years in the Himalayas and re covered this science from 3000 years of obscurity. The p r e s e n t teacher, the Ma harishi. supposedly studied with him around 13 years, and emerged clad in cloth, sandals and beads, to begin his mission. The movement today is In most of the m ajor cities of this country, Canada, South Am erica, Europe and Asia. It is the one where you present at the Initiation ceremony, fru it, flowers and handker chief which you later take home as a memo. A t the ceremony yo u receive a mantra o r sacred w o rd based on your age, sex a n d general statistics. This Is given by a student who has spent 6 months with the Ma harishi m Majorca, Spain, or elsewhere and has learn ed the ceremony to perfect ion. This initiation, and each subsequent one yearly fo r 5 years, costs $75. This society holds out the hope of God realization in 5 y e a r s , with only 2 -2 0 - mlnute periods of meditation daily, while In the meantims one ca rrie s out one's daily a ctivities. It is called a technique of living, rather than a religion.

Where as there may be some benefits to be gained by this group, and their zeal is commendable, it is my opinion that meditation and God-realization Is not some thing which can be bought in 4 or 5 $75 doses guaranteed to cring permanent results. I believe that some people f r o m India are capitalizing financially on th e ir country's genuinely great heritage to bring to a sp iritu a lly hungry West, tired of m aterialism , a hope which could be true but that they fa lsify. God aixd religion cannot be bought. Beyond the Financial as pect, my impression of tlw Maharishi in a film at P ort land State, center of the SIMS organization here, was that he was smug, self-centered and e f f e t e , besides h a v in g a squeeky voice. Likewise the leader of the group, you w ill have to pardon it, could not be described as other than a sap. One's sincerest aspira tions were replied. I would like to insert a word of caution: Mantras may be rr.lsued: meditation may be sold, but woe to those that do so. T h e ir g ifts, if they have any w ill be taken from them. A genuine yogi would never sell his product. It is said, "B e s till and know that I am Cod.” This mandate s till holds.
