This dovetails nicely with Peter's post about his TM mantra generating bliss. So Rick, you're doing an Amma meditation these days, right? And you've used other sounds in meditation-like roles, such as for the sidhis, or maybe a bliss technique or something. In your experience, did your TM mantra provide benefits other sounds haven't? I'm using Amma's mantra TM-style. Experiences are better than ever, but I can't say why for sure. Many influences. Didn't have bliss technique. Other techniques (i.e., sidhis) didn't involve anything for its sound value. I received two mantras from Amma--one of which is my TM mantra in it's full form. She gives the entire dharani--the full chain of mantra, the Om, the Seed, and the rest. So you're getting the full thing, from the start. The sadhana for practicing it was very beautiful.
