== Self identification ==

Probably should adjust the info box too. ([[User:Littleolive oil|Littleolive oil]] ([[User talk:Littleolive oil|talk]]) 03:58, 22 June 2015 (UTC))
:Of course Maharishi self-identifies as Hindu. He was a disciple of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath. [[User:Sparaig2|Sparaig2]] ([[User talk:Sparaig2|talk]]) 07:17, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
== Hagiography ==
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. [[User:Blackmetalskinhead|Blackmetalskinhead]] ([[User talk:Blackmetalskinhead|talk]]) 07:57, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

: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.

== Maharishi has been honored by the Indian government several ways recently. How to include this? ==
* Maharishi was honored by the creation of a new award, the Maharishi Dhanvantari Award, created by the Indian government in the memory of MMY and meant to honor people who have done serious work to spread Ayurveda world wide. Note that Maharishi's picture appears on the award itself as presented by the AYUSH minister: [https://www.facebook.com/IndiaInNetherlands/photos/a.345672965499792/1869198863147187 Minister of AYUSH Shripad Naik & Ambassador Venu Rajamony presented the Maharishi Dhanvantari award to Padmabhushan Vaidya Devendra Triguna, President of the All India Ayurveda Congress & Mr Tony Nader, Head of the Maharishi International Transcendental Meditation movement.]
*
* The AYUSH Ministery issued a 2019 calender to honor “Path-finding visionaries who have appeared in the different streams of AYUSH systems at different times in history and contributed their valuable share to the growth and development of respective practices.” Maharishi is the person honored in the month of January with the words: [https://www.amazon.in/Wall-callender-2019-Ayush-Calendar/dp/B07MLDS9GV?fbclid=IwAR0il64ybVImLQiNbOuMw5XmbyJvRqQMfbR6MHi4I1k3alI47DTvgnX7mkg “Known for original contributions to Yoga and Meditation, he is remembered most for developing the Transcendental Meditation technique.”]
* There is a rumor that the Indian government is also issuing a commemorative postage stamp in MMY's honor, but I haven't see that yet.
How does one include these kinds of things in this article?[[User:Sparaig2|Sparaig2]] ([[User talk:Sparaig2|talk]]) 10:11, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

== Material removed and questionable material ==
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 {{ping|Will M Davis}} to discuss this matter.

:Further to WikiDan's comments, as I pointed out[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maharishi_Mahesh_Yogi&diff=prev&oldid=1239294919] when I removed the Anthony content after it was added the second time, the book is evidently [[WP:SPS|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. <span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#4682B4 0.1em 0.1em 1.5em,#4682B4 -0.1em -0.1em 1.5em;color:#000000">[[User:Cambial Yellowing|<i style="color:#999900">Cambial </i>]]— [[User talk:Cambial Yellowing|<b style="color:#218000">foliar❧</b>]]</span> 18:02, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
