It is claimed that both "TM" and "Transcendental Meditation" are registered trademarks of the Maharishi Vedic Education Development Corporation and that no one can legally claim to be teaching "TM" unless authorized to use the trademark. No authorized TM teacher will teach you for anything less than the official fee of $2500. However, it is further claimed that a "copyright" is not a "patent". For example, anyone can market sodium hypoclorite as long as they don't call it "Clorox". And anyone can teach the exact same technique as the TM teachers do as long as they don't label it "TM" or "Transcendental Meditation". There are a number of renegade teachers who will teach you everything you would learn from an official TM teacher, either for free or for cheap, but you would need to find one locally.

Why do you have pay for instruction in Transcendental Meditation if it is effortless?

There are many things in life that are easy, effortless and natural. These would include walking, speaking, sleeping, running etc. Yet all of us need training and coaching in these areas. Parents teach their children to walk, speak etc. Those with sleeping difficulties get therapy. Those that want to excel in running get lessons and coaching. In an enlightened society meditation is also taught by parent to their children. However, in today's material world few parents are not experts in Transcendental Meditation and cannot teach it to their children. This is true even in India where Transcendental Meditation has its roots. So we must enroll in a course and get proper training from a certified Transcendental Meditation teacher. Because these teachers teach meditation as an occupation they must be compensated so they can buy food and pay rent just like any other professional who has invested thousands of dollars in extensive training and certifications programs.
