Thanks for contributing
Thanks, Kumbha, for contributing to Wikipedia, which encourages new editors to be bold. You took that to heart. There are a wide range of guidelines for contributing, one of the fundamental ones being Neutral Point of View. There are, unfortunately, those who think that Transcendental Meditation is somehow religious or a cult. If there are qualified sources who say this, and if it's not a minority view, then this can be included in an article in order to create a neutral point of view. Some of the things you deleted are only marginally in accord wtih the guidelines, such as the non-peer-reviewed study by Otis, and there might be a rationale for deletion. But that would need to be argued on the Talk page, which one can access via the Discussion tab at the top.

The article on Transcendental Meditation has been a real battleground, but fortunately we seem to have reached a stable article that is fairly well balanced. TimidGuy 17:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
