For what it is worth, discussion of advanced techniques could result in instant fail on TTC, or so I have read.
Maharishi was far more strict about advanced technique discussion than about regular TM. L ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : When did you get your advanced technique? When I got mine in 1976 it was based on a different beej mantra from the first technique I got. I've heard in later years it might have been taught by using the original beej and adding to it. There are all kinds of way to create advanced mantras and they can have different effects too. On 06/04/2014 05:28 PM, authfriend@... mailto:authfriend@...

The advanced techniques aren't new bija mantras, they're actual Sanskrit words that you use with your original bija mantra. Am I wrong? I have only one advanced technique, and that was the case for me. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <s3raphita@...> mailto:s3raphita@... wrote : Re Funny you should mention that. On my TTC when MMY came to make us teachers he also gave out advanced techniques. On the flight back home folks were running around asking "do you remember the mantra that MMY gave you for an advanced technique?" A number of people could not or were confused as to it's pronunciation (including myself). Ha-ha! There are also stories of people (here on FFL) who reverted back to their original bija mantras because they found the advanced technique mantra didn't agree with them. (I bet there was no money-back-if-not-completely-satisfied clause.)
