Maybe if you are a kindergarden student as far as mantra shastra goes.
Sadly, it's a subject that never was taught by Maharishi. But other
paths do. It's also another reason why I walked away from TM: because
it was very limited.
FYI, this stuff has been available in books for decades. Swami
Shivananda wrote quite a bit about it. To think that any of this is
special or not to be discussed displays extreme ignorance.

in instant fail on TTC, or so I have read.
Maharishi was far more strict about advanced technique discussion than
about regular TM.

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.

Gee, in my understanding, you get only one bija mantra when
you're initiated. 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.

ReFunny 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.)
