When MMY refers to the "vedic," he's talking about all the "vedic literature" as he defines it PLUS any techniques he associates with that liteature, such as dyhan. http://ff.mum.edu/vedicreserve/ That a list of mantras doesn't appear in the Veda explicitly isn't any more relevant than the fact that the 100,000+ variations of the yoga asanas don't get explicit mention either --or are you saying that only asanas that are described/mentioned explicitly in the Vedas are genuine vedic asanas? Yoga asanas come from the Nath tantric siddhas. They ain't Vedic either dude. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
