On 8th July 1971 in Amherst, U.S.A., Maharishi Mahesh Yogi made
the following statement which contradicts the assumption that he never claimed the TM technique came from Guru Dev Shankaracharya Swami Brahmanand Saraswati.
'But the great impact of Guru Dev, in his lifetime, in bringing
out so clearly and in such simple words, this technique of TM. And his,
his blessing for, for this movement which came out much after he left
his body. Because there was no, no occasion during his lifetime for,
for any of his intimate blessed disciples to go out of his presence
and that's why this any such movement to bless the world couldn't have started during his time'.
As has been repeated here before many times
(Which must make it true...)
, and also verified by Dana Sawyer in his research with SBS's sect the Dandis
Documentation, please. On what basis was it "verified"?
You'd have to ask Dana. He's talked to many of these guys. I have his article on the Dandis and it may mention it simply in passing, as what they do with householders.
Keep in mind there are teachers in the Shank. tradition who will realize a certain student is ripe for non-dual meditation and teach them a method that isn't as dualistic as meditation with an object.
