Louis, I am a former TM teacher who went to TTC in 1975 and learned the Sidhis in 78. I wanted more and wanted to know more about meditation and meditation techniques. I learned that field is what is called mantra shastra. A few years ago I made the acquaintance of an Indian tantric who had moved to the US. After about 6 months of testing him and him me I took initiation from him. I am now trained to teach the form of yogic meditation of that tradition which involves giving the student shaktipat. A lot of this training involved learning mantra shastra. As part of the process I first learned yogic meditation from him and then later came the tantric initiation (very powerful) which included learning the "guru mantra." The guru mantra is extremely powerful and energizing and as like others who have learned it say the shakti is so thick it is like butter and it is as if you could cut it with a knife. That mantra energizes other mantras I use including the ones for the yogic meditation.
