Janov's Primal Therapy has led a lot of people to mental breakdown
also. (Google "Primal Therapy".) I'm not knocking the guy (I want us
to experiment with as many therapies as possible) but there will
obviously be tragedies as we learn to unravel the mysteries of the mind.
On the subject of mantras: my understanding is that MMY only used the
one mantra when he first started. Some FFLifers don't like us posting
mantra details so here is a clue:
noun
1. a male sheep.
2. (initial capital letter) Astronomy, Astrology. the constellation or
sign of Aries.
3. any of various devices for battering, crushing, driving, or forcing
something.
MMY's use of that one mantra was in place until the end of the sixties
so surely the celebrity pop stars who learned TM during those swinging
sixties should have been given the same mantra? As the celebs would no
doubt eventually reveal their syllable to each other, I'm guessing MMY
made an exception for the fab four and gave them each a unique mantra.
It's a common Shanti mantra, calms vata. It's considered a mantra for
the general public.
As for George Harrison's mantra we have a clue. From a Google search:
"In an initiation the master, after appraising the personality of the
neophyte, gives him a secret mantra, a word whose vibrations harmonize
with those of the person himself. Saying the word silently during
meditations twice daily, concentrating on it, the initiate is able to
let "gross" surface thought drift while consciousness descends to the
depths where it is in tune with the infinite. The mantra is usually in
Sanskrit, but George Harrison has stated that his is an English word
included in the lyrics of the Beatles' song I Am the Walrus."
I've listened to the walrus song but can't pick it out. See if you
have better luck . . .

Not English but there is one at around 3 minutes.
