2-Manju....Chanting mantra while driving bike, & TM centers in India... , Mark Kincaid

[Guest guest]

Dear Manju:

 

I'd look up on the net.

 

Try tm.org as a web address.

 

there should be references to the many tm centers in India...

 

good luck...

 

 

you're going to love it!

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Mark KIncaid

 

 

I've been meditating now since 1970, and I don't regret one moment of all

these wonderful years of meditating....!
