Even though the terms Transcendental Meditation & TM had not been coined, in 'Thirty Years Around the World' it states catagorically that before the yagna performed in October 1955, 'Throughout Kerala Maharishi was instructing the people in Transcendental Meditation'. In 'Beacon Light of the Himalayas' (an allusion to Guru Dev) Bal Brhmachari Mahsh (as he signed himself some weeks later) tells the audience:-
'When he devotes himself and meditates on the name and form (NAMA AND RUPA) of the LORD, he begins to experience some ANANDAM and also the Grace of the Lord in every walk of life. This experience of Peace and Anandam is Sadhana. And Sadhana naturally increases his devotion to God and makes him more and more attached to Him. Thus he develops intensity of Raga for the ISHTAM. Gradually, this final Raga goes on increasing and this increase of Raga and Love for the ISHTAM enables the Grihastha to feel the presence of his 'ISHTAM' always with him, in all his ways of life, in all his thought, speech and action.' --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "sparaig" <sparaig@> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], "Paul Mason" <premanandpaul@> > wrote: > > > > > > > > > In 'Meditation: easy system propounded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi' > > > (c1959) there is to be found a series of questions which includes > the > > > following: > > > Q.
