When I visited with sannyasis of the Shankaracharya order and  naively   mentioned that I learned meditation in the "Shanakaracharya   tradition", they immediately asked "from who?" When I said it was  TM   and Maharishi's meditation several of the sannyasis got very angry  at   this, one was particularly loud and quietly escorted away. Not a  nice   scene! Last time I ever said that. They felt he was a "seller of  the   Vedas" and thus destined for the deepest hell. Not the "saint"  some   imagine... Emphasis on dogma can lead to all kinds of crazy ideas. Just look at  the way the dharma of caste is often abused and misunderstood. Or  the state of the Catholic Church. You seem to put way too much  importance in titles. I think the sages who said that originally saw it as "cause and effect". Charging for the path to liberation was not seen as a good "cause" and therefore had some bad effects... __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
