Amma is regarded as an Avatar by many though not by me, for others She is Godhead herself. Others again regard Her as a cherished Teacher. In this situation Rich Archer mix into the situation, he starts to "check" the meditations of Amma's students using techniques he learned from Maharishi. Without the conscent of his Teacher, totally driven by his own ego or desire for recognition of some sort. First of all, Nabby, you're fixating on this checking thing. I did this on two occasions, both times with people who were frustrated by their meditation experience; who were straining and weren't getting "deep." Both had nice results. One later learned TM. I doubt that MMY or Amma would have objected. 2nd, you didn't address my question about getting animals to meditate by checking them a lot. If you're going to check them, they first have to have a mantra, so I guess you'd have to initiate them. I never got instructions from MMY on how to initiate animals. Please explain to us how you would do it, Nabby, without giving out any private instructions, of course. By animals, do you just mean cats and dogs, or would you include horses, goats, iguanas, etc? In other words, which species are eligible for initiation and checking? Only mammals? Reptiles? Amphibians? Fish? Where do you draw the line? Finally, please compare my taking a few minutes to give a couple of friends a taste of effortless meditation, basically by asking them to open and close their eyes a few times and then think the mantra as effortlessly as any other thought, with your initiating and checking of animals, in light of the principle of the "Purity of the Teaching."
