Also, not all Dasanami monks meditate on the bijas of Saraswathi, not twice a day, some do not meditate at all, and not all of TM mantras are bijas of Saraswathi, only those of the student age. The first mantras Maharishi taught in the west were in fact Ram mantras. Shree is typical Lakshmi, other mantras are of Durga and Kali or Krishna.


The advanced technique, however, is a Saraswati mantra (unless they changed the procedure later on which I've read allusions too). That is known to be a mantra for reducing pitta which means if you are kapha you might have a tendency to fall asleep during meditation and put on weight! :-D

I've often thought that the bijas "were discovered" as early man mimiced bird calls and then just noticed effects just thinking them.
