Folks - suspending disbilief for a while, you need to notice: (a) doing this actively in a group in this coordinated fashion is next to impossible - unless they practice this for years! (b) none of them seem to be exerting themselves to jump - look at their posture at the time of take off (c) the jump is quite high - so attempting to do this purely physically and for such a distance would be really exhausting. They don't look tired to me. (d) TM guys themselves say that "hopping" is stage 1 -stage 2 and 3 are what they are after. Of which a video might be much more interesting. (e) I have experienced uncontrollable surges of energy when you do some yoga practices - none of them involved jumping, but I can imagine if the same energy gets coordinated directionally, it could make you jump! So yes - it does look incredible and pointless, but I wouldn't write it off simply because I have never experienced it myself. Though the bullshit quote is hilarious :))
