fields would offer their services, but the TMM typically would use them only if they were really needed (example: the professional MUM Press and all of its predecessors), or just to humor them or keep them happy. Universities and other organizations were set up as initiatives from MMY or by individuals with his blessing; I, not a professional, attended the first meeting to discuss forming a
University (called MIU), representing either physics or mathematics, I forget which). TMM organizations and projects took some time to reach professional status, and some may remain amateur operations. The desire was to do whatever was acceptable to society to spread TM and improve the world, with the understanding that not much effort was needed. This attitude of restful creativity (which may actually be the best approach when dealing with something natural that helps the world) may be at the root of both the disinterest in professionalism and the great interest in setting up a variety of projects and organizations. I hope this helps confirm what you've already deduced. Some of the pro-TM editors would be able to give you quick answers to questions like this one.

picked up by a reliable secondary source, great. We should use the secondary source. Otherwise, these are basically self-serving primary sources written by flack weasels, no different from the press releases written by flack weasels at any other organization. One difference: I've never seen another organization claim copyright on its press releases. Bizarre; it almost guarantees that noone with reprint it, which is exactly the opposite of what press releases are intended to do. We can use them for what the organizations claim about themselves, carefully identifying that the source is a self-published press release not picked up by any other reliable news source.

I don't know if you are interested in unsourced but neutral personal knowledge, but Global Good News is definitely part of the TMM, as is the
Country of World Peace and Maharishi Open University (MOU). Historically, the TMM was amateur and happy with that status. Frequently, professionals in various

Good research. I'm not sure quite what the
Maharishi University of Enlightenment is, but the pictures on their minimal website only show women. In any case, MUE and GGN appear to be an official entities of the movement, and GGN should probably be considered an official source for the overall TMM.

The

Would it be appropriate to cite those as press releases issued by GGN? While we shouldn't use those as sources for people or entities outside the movement, is it OK for use on any named people or entities within the movement?

It says: "The Global Good News service of

Other parts of it reprint press releases from various TM Movement
Organizations, which claim copyright for the material being printed, and indentify the organizations claiming the copyright.

That's what I'm saying. If it's a press release with a TMM Organization copyright, we can confidently write that X organization issued a press release on Y date claiming Z, citing GGN.

So it's an official TMM Organization, and self-evidently connected with the Mother Divine and/or
Purusha organizations, which do PR for the TMM, among other things.

Agreed. The article should be deleted. If there is any salvagable content, and I have my doubts about that, it could be merged in another article.
