TM teachers, of which I am one, are certainly NOT archaryas. There is some doubt in circles that even MMY ever achieved acharya level. I am not an archarya in the Kali Sadhaka tradition. I am only a Sidh tantric and have yet to even achieve "tantric shastri." The titles may change a little from tradition to tradition. Someone on another forum once informed that Kashmiri Shaivism has a set of levels too. An archarya has the "license" to make new teachers. As Sidh tantric in my tradition I can teach meditation, give shaktipat and do some tantric cures and rituals. But I cannot initiate new tantrics. That requires the acharya level. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
