Me old friend, professor Anoop Chandola of the University of Arizona,once commented that Maharishi is the greatest spiritual leader of India of the latter half of the 20th Century, following in the footsteps of his guru, who was the latest spiritual leader of the first half. He also commented that it is obvious that Maharishi is speaking from personal experience on all these matters. He ALSO commented that Maharishi had grown way beyond the boundries of a mere Shankaracharya, and that the world should be greatful that he his teachings were available worldwide, rather than holed up in some monastary in the Himalayas.
You should google Annop Chandola's academic credentials before you get all hysterically laughing about his comments. He was speaking professionally on the subject. --- In [email protected], "Llundrub" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I think the effort thing is really a non issue, what difference does > it make to acknowledge that some effort is involved in the practice, > compared to thinking type meditations it is virtually effortless.

You see, most of you have been practicing in caves even though it didn't seem like it. Many of you are like WASPS who have never seen a black person and consequently think that they're space aliens. With time you might come to respect that he's showing that a larger world exists. If his efforts free your minds from any ignorance, blindness or superstition then he's doing the job, in part, of liberating your mindstreams from ignorance. That's a great gift. Happy Birthday.
