Shows you how "real" it all is/was. A lot of spin, and we all "bought it".  Literally. Swami Rama's lineage comes from the same line as M.: dandi guru who was a Shank., also a student of SBS and a Sri Vidya adept. They insist mantra initiation must be 1) free and 2) personalized, not canned. In fact in some cases, they change mantras based on individual circumstances. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
