Hello, I will try to clarify. One Guru at a time- MMY was my Guru, I had no others while in TM. IN the last months, I met my Guru on line- for those months, I was still practiciing TM, once I took initiation with the new Guru, then this became the end of my formal TM practice.
The thing Gurus will recomend is to only have one. If a time comes for some reason where you are ready to leave that Guru for another, then most Gurus would advise no different than before, there should only be one Guru at a time My Guru had 4 gurus, yet the most recent enlightened disciple only had Swami G and no other. My Gurus comments are some may have many gurus, some only one. While in TM, I went very deep, there were times of only consciousness on it's own. In the last 5 years, there was this bliss that carriered over in activity, but not just some slight mundane bliss, really a significant deep bliss going for days at a time Now, if this is not correct TM practice, what else do I have to give as a report? I had good financial success through the years, this can also be attributed to TM. I can write a very long list of benefits I had- how much time do you have? I did yagyas, spending 30k one year once, went on courses, and by the way, I will be in vlodrop in about 5 days-hahaha. I have even worked for a short time as staff in Vlodrop, by some crazy happening was sitting in Maharishi's house for an hour, etc. As a teacher, I didicated myself to various projects through the years, participated in most of the major courses- India, Phillippines- had the gandarva music school in my house, had loads of purusha staying in my house, was a natural law candidate, donated lots of money to the movement, Others have done more and less- I am mentioning these things because who knows what it is , if anything that may satisfy your inquirey about me doing TM correctly- I got an idea- ask Rick or Peter what they think? But it doesn't matter anyway, you are entitled to your opinion, and I guess the main thing is not about me anyway, I have no complaints, if you are happy where you are, then go for it. I am just giving you my opinion that it is possible to have more than one Guru and possibly excell quickly in the journey, but that the gurus would not recomend haveing more than one at a time. The when one has their Guru, it is recomended to go for it 100%. As you may know, I further recomended that it should be 2 things, a sat Guru, and then work one to one Tanmay --- In [email protected], "shempmcgurk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "Ron" <sidha7001@> wrote: > > > [snip] > > > > > There can be confusion with two Gurus. > > > > I must conclude, therefore, that at one point in your life you > accepted unto yourself Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as your guru, correct? > > If you did that, Ron, you are aware, aren't you, that you were off > the program (the TM Program, that is)?
