We were always taught that during TM we should allow the mantra to
change its "sound" and not interfere. Sometimes it can even be just a
pulse; sometimes even just a modulation of other thoughts that flit
through the mind; sometimes just the ghost of a sound . . .
I'm sure if someone told me to repeat "om gam ganapataye namaha" I
could manage it but it would keep my consciousness at a surface level
and block any move towards transcending. Do you find picking up other
mantras and using them as your "focus" is straightforward and
unproblematic?
Part of my tantric training was how to use other mantras. But using
mantras for ayurveda or even jyotish is not problematic nor
complicated. TM people seem to be afraid to try things but I walked
away from TM many, many years ago.
