what exactly you mean by "Shakti drain"? The farther in time and distance
the students are from the source of the technique the less they work. This is
why people can't just get into practicing Patanjali even though he was a
tremendous Shaivitte and Sidha. The yoga sutras weren't practiced like we
practice them, and if it wasn't for TM basic v. 1.5 the sutras as we practice
them would have had no effect whatsoever. They are a teaching of
Maharishi. They might yet work someday. But the students of Patanjali
didn't run around and then meditate for 20 times 2. They stayed in samadhi so
samyama was easier for them. Patanjali had his own ideas, and most of the yoga
sutras delineate them as being for liberation, not for success in
the market.
When Maharishi is dead and gone his
techniques will also fall away from 'purity.' Especially as his teachings are
themselves so diverse and self-contradicting that every TM Teacher will be out
for themselves and their versions. One must understand things at their
source for the benefit to remain fresh. Farther from the source less benefit.
Sad but true. Not that any of this shit will matter in another ten years. After
nukes have made the air unbreathable and the sun is burning through the final
thin layers of ozone. And your kids have radiation sores. People will hardly
think of meditating then when their ears are buzzing as they burst with boils.
Even Maharishi's rich family will
wonder if they could have used the capitol gained through you hard effort back
when there was a chance.
