Maharishi was one of the most controversial new religious figures of the 20th century. You would not know anything about that from this entry. It’s a propaganda piece, pure hagiography clearly written from a biased POV. Blackmetalskinhead (talk) 07:57, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome to your opinion but that doesn't really help to improve the article; please provide specific, reliably-sourced information to support your assertion so that this issue can be addressed.--Shantavira|feed me11:08, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm surprised there is no "Controversy" section! I suggest that links be accumulated here for materials to be considered as citations. I will contact appropriate people to contribute to this article, and I hope others will do the same. I'm sure this article needs going over for accuracy, too.
The "Controversy" section of the Wikipedia entry on Transcendental Meditation barely touches on this issue.
I have removed claims related to TM published by David Orme-Johnson given his obvious conflict of interest with the subject matter. Further, I question the material regarding Yogi's celibacy sourced to the book by Tony Anthony as making unsupported conclusions. Anthony claims, essentially, that since Maharishi insisted on celibacy from his pupils, he, himself, must also have been celibate. This is a specious argument at best. I invite @Will M Davis: to discuss this matter. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!!15:49, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Further to WikiDan's comments, as I pointed out[1] when I removed the Anthony content after it was added the second time, the book is evidently self-published. The ostensible publisher, "Montgomery Wood Publishing", seems to be merely a name given to the author's own efforts to publish the book. There is no evidence of any other books by this publisher on e.g. worldcat, and no evidence that they exist. Cambial — foliar❧18:02, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
