While TM has positive effects for many, there is something the Maharishi and the TM organization don't disclose, and that is TM's Hindu origins. In essence, it's a Hindu religious practice disguised as a relaxation technique. If that doesn't bother you, and you don't mind paying lots of $$ for a mantra that is the name of a Hindu deity, then you might benefit from it. If you want to learn more about this aspect of TM, I suggest two websites:
