From what I've read, the first written inscriptions in India date from the time of Ashoka, circa 200 BC, and the erection of the Ashoka Pillar at Sarnath. Campbell was probably referring to the *oral history* in the words contained in the Rig Veda, circa 1200-1500 BC. Certainly there is epigraphic evidence before 1500 BC in the form of monuments, but the remains of edifice architecture in India is dated around 200 BC at the Lomas Rishi cave in Malabar, except for some megalithic structure that were apparently erected before that. The starting point for South Asian pre-history is the neolithic, megalith builders of Dravidian (Mediteranean), Souteast Asian, and Malayan cultures, among many of the cultures that existed in the Indus Valley Civilization around 2400 B.C.

It is an interesting fact that all the Vedic Gods are armed to the teeth, including Vishnu himself. Campbell describes the work of James Darmiester, the translator of the Zend Avesta, and notes that Zoroaster was one of the earliest prophets to preach an apocalypse within monotheism. Eschatological teachings were widely disseminated in Persia around 750 B.C. by this famous Persian prophet. Zoroaster's cosmology was based on the concept of a struggle between good and evil (Campbell 269)). Alexander he Great of Macedonia destroyed the Persian Empire, fulfilling the prophecy of Zoroaster.

Totally cool singing with music and seems effective core activating spiritually. Would make great background music in airports or on elevators.

I made a quick inventory of what elements make programs successful, restricted to Traditions derived or evolved from (what Westerners call): Hinduism, and Buddhism; also inclusive of Indian subcontinent Traditions in which there is no expressed allegiance to any other lineage; but which obviously are related to typically religious groups. .. Examples: MMY and the various TM programs: (basically technique oriented with ritualistic overtones derived from a Holy Tradition; so we include and examine this in the light of the checklist I came up with.: CHECKLIST: 1. Devotion - to a Guru or Deity 2. Shakti (ie.is Shakti present ? (You'll have to use your Shakti meter on this one!) 3. Rituals 4. An ancient language capable of acting as a carrier for the Shakti, such as Skt, Sino-Japanese, Hebrew, etc... 5. Mantras: repeated silently, outloud, or as japa 5b. also includes the mechanism of repeating the mantra such as degree of hard concentration, etc. 6. Breathing techniques with activation of the chakras 7. Group programs available? (may include you-tube presentations) 8. Regular practices leading to goals 9. an elevated Guru preferably without moral blemish. 10. Yagyas designed to mitigate bad karma. Now we can select some groups, then evaluate them in light of the checklist. I note - on mantras, MMY's programs are deficient in japa, whereas SSRS recommends the repetition of the Gayatri Mantra. The TMO doesn't object to the devotional element, which is up to the individual. On the downside, the TMO may likewise miss out on the opportunity to strongly support one devotional icon as opposed to others. On the latter basis coupled with #9, Christianity has basically taken over 1/3 of the world without having strong contributions in some of the other places. ... In regard to Christianity, I'd say that on the whole, it's woefully indequate, particularly in the Shakti category. However, there's plenty of emotional enthusiasm in some of the Christian sections, particularly among the Evangelicals. However, an abundance of emotional enthusiasm is no substitute for the Shaki that allows for transcendence. ... In my experience, the most intense Shakti site is the Ramakrishna Temple in Hollywood, CA. ...

As I said to start with, the gods have perfectly good names of their own: Saraswati, Lakshmi, etc.*
[FairfieldLife] MMY's Mantras
A mantra in seed form (bijaskara) is used in yogic meditation as a mnemonic device for transcending, to go beyond the the limitations of sense perception, in order to experience a fourth state of consciousness, which is beyond mere suppositions and discursive dialectic; a state of Creative Pure Intelligence, the ultimate, absolute reality. According to MMY, the absolute is knowledge structured in consciousness. So, let's first review what we know so far: According to MMY, writing in Beacon Light of the Himalayas (1955), the purpose of the TMer mantras are to fetch the grace of the Hindu gods. The Shankaracharya tradition is the custodian of the mantras used in the practice of TM. This has been confirmed by SBS, who stated in many satsangs that the mantras used in the Shankaracharya tradition are for the purpose of establishing an affinity with istadevata, that is, a personal god, represented by the mantra such as Ram, Shyam, Saraswati, etc. And, it has been established that the mantras given out in TMer initiation came from the tradition followed by SBS, from whom MMY received the mantras after sitting at the feet of the master. We now know that the mantras used by SBS came from his guru, SKS, a Saraswati Sannyasin of the Sri Vidya sect, headquartered at Sringeri which founded by the Adi Shankara in 810 AD. The Sri Vidya in turn originated in Kashmere and is related to the monist Trika philosophy of Kashmere Tantrism. The Adi Shankara visited Kashmere in 811 AD and was initiated into the shakti tantra sect, obtaining the Sri Yantra mandala, symbol of the Hindu Goddess Tripurasundari (Saraswati), which he then placed on the mandir of numerous sacred temples which he founded such as at Sringerimatha, at Kanchimatha, and at the Jyotirmatha. Main purpose of mantra: There are numerous uses for mantra, such as for protection, purification, propitiation, supplication, material gain, and for identification. One of the oldest uses of mantra is for clearing the atmosphere of malevolent entities, such as for the dedication of religious edifice architecture and for preparing the home and hearth for human habitation. But, without doubt, the highest and most pure use for mantra is for the purpose of yogic identification with the God of yogins - Ishvara, the Transcendental Person, mentioned in Yoga Sutras by Maharishi Patanjali. So, the main purpose of the mantra is identification with istadevata in deep meditation, called dhyana in Sanskrit. According to Sri Vidya, there is no difference between the name of istadevata, and istadevata Herself - they are one and the same. By invoking the name of the istadevata with mantra, the personal god manifests in the heart (chakra) of the sadhak, thus providing the ideal opportunity for the transcending. According to Brooks, The srividya, because it consists of indestructible seed syllables (bijaksara) rather than words, transcends such mundane considerations as semantic meaning. Accordingly, a bija-only mantra is not merely esoteric but inherently superior. Because it is purely seed-syllables [bijasaras] it is the purest form of mantra. It does not make a request or praise god, it is God's purest expression. Gayatri is great but it cannot match Srividya because it is still in language; it is Veda and mantra but when transformed into the Srividya its greatness increases. According to Susan Shumsky, a famous TM Teacher, Within the triangle is the mantra known as vagbhava bija (guru seed mantra) aing. This mantra embodies an aspect of supreme consciousness. So, to sum up: Yoga meditation is a technique that is common all over India, especially in the sect of the Sri Vidya and the Kashmere Trika. In that tradition they meditate on the bija mantra of Trupurasundari (Saraswati). It's the same bija mantra given out in TM initiation. It's the same technique - it's a meditation using a bija mantra for the attainment of Absolute Knowledge through yogic means (dhyana, mantra, japa, mandala, and puja). We can assume that the MMY learned meditation from his Master, Swami Brahmananda Saraswati who was intiated by his guru, Swami Krishnananda Saraswati. All the gurus in the Saraswati lineage meditate on the bija of Saraswati at least twice every day. Their headquarters is at Sringeri in Karnataka, India. According to the Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath, H.H. Swami Vasudevananda Saraswati, the meditation technique used in TM first originated with the Vedic sage Naryana and was passed down through a long line of sages including Shakti, Parashara, and Badarayana. It's the same meditation that is used by all the Shankaracharyas in that spiritual lineage. According to Vedanta, Saraswati is considered to be the feminine energy, or Adi Shakti of Brahman. Sri Vidya is thus the Auspicious Wisdom which has three cities - waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, and another state termed turyia, which indicates a fourth state beyond the three

[FairfieldLife] Decision time for Share, Day 3
So Share, you've had another full day and two Dome programs to think about whether you'd like to get this issue out of your hair, or whether you want to prolong it indefinitely. What's your decision? Do you want me to keep posting the proof that you told falsehoods about my September 9, 2012, post, or would you prefer to just admit to having done so and be done with it? Remember, everybody here knows that you told those falsehoods, because they've seen the evidence. It's not as if they're going to start doubting that you did it if you don't cop to it. They're just going to think: She did it, and she refuses to take responsibility for it. At any rate, here's the evidence, again, from my post to you on Sunday: OK, Share, let's see if you can both listen and reply to this post, which is about some unfinished business from yesterday that we need to deal with. In a post to Barry, you wrote: Judy first ran her number on me on Sept 9, 2012. As I've already noted, this is not true. We had clashed well before September 9. But this is what I want to discuss with you today, since you didn't respond to what I told you yesterday. You wrote: She said that I did such and such in my post to RWC. She did not qualify with in my opinion or it sounds like or even I think. In fact, I said: After all the lovely conversations you'd had with him, covering a wide range of themes, that you had decided you were going to suspend communications altogether because of a single remark sure sounded like you had felt seriously insulted. AND: Because this post sure doesn't sound to me as though you want to do anything but beat up on Robin, even after he's taken the blame on himself for *your* misunderstanding and apologized at length. Then you wrote: Of course she didn't ask me if I was doing such and such. She just declared that I did such and such as if she could see inside my head and know, without error, what I had been thinking and feeling. In fact, I said: And now you seem to feel even more seriously insulted that he's left you a public apology. AND: I couldn't figure out either what your problem was with what he had said. AND: For the life of me, I can't see why you're being so snarky. Now, let's see if you can bring yourself to acknowledge that what you claimed yesterday about my September 9 post was not true. (Let's just look at what you said about it yesterday, and not try to avoid that issue by shifting attention to the merits of the arguments back then, OK?) For your convenience, here's the link to my September 9 post so you can check to make sure I haven't misquoted either you or myself: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/319521 http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/319521 It was crammed with qualifiers and expressions of uncertainty, entirely contrary to your characterization of it yesterday. And it wasn't even a nasty post! I'm betting you can't do it, Share. I don't think you have the intestinal fortitude to confess to your untruthfulness, even with the evidence right in front of your eyes, even knowing it's in front of everyone else's eyes here as well. Goodness knows this wasn't the first or the only time you've misrepresented what someone else has said in an attempt to make them look bad and yourself appear to be a blameless victim. It's just such a clear-cut case, and you brought it on yourself. Your post yesterday was an entirely gratuitous slam, piling on to a long list of dishonest statements of Barry's about me. I ran my number on you? No, babe, you ran your number on me. As Ann pointed out to you: Share, take a moment and have a care. You are moving into some dangerous territory for yourself as an individual and as a human being. Be careful that you do not use the mistaken and erroneous notions of your faux friend Barry and your well-intentioned but not-really-helping-you associate Feste to launch into this head space of yours. I don't think it is a healthy one or somewhere that is characterized by what is real or what is true. Share wrote, oblivious to the irony: Nice, turq, and I'd add: we often listen with the intention to reply and by replying, *improve* our fellow humans any way we can, whether they want to be *improved* or not! Of course this doesn't apply much to the Funny Farm Lounge (-:

[FairfieldLife] RE: Jesuit Trained Pope Trashes Capitalism in Call for Worldwide Socialism
Re Capitalist governments shouldn't be bailing anybody out . . . If the government takes the risk out of the equation by offering a bailout, any fool could run a business and risk everyone's investments in it with no lessons learned.: Precisely my point. You can argue that we should move towards a more Ayn Rand set-up and get governments off our backs. It's states offering bailouts that has encouraged the banks to take idiotic risks. You could argue the opposite though - financial institutions should come under more strenuous oversight from financial regulators with the state limiting bonuses and having a veto on risky investments. It's the current mixed-economy model that isn't fit for purpose. Bankers socialism pisses off everyone.

He accessed computers and networks at all the world's biggest companies - and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide and seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Decision time for Share, Day 3
Maybe Share would like to respond after you admit you fibbed about the TM mantras not being the names of the Hindu gods. Until then, why would she or anyone want to dialog with a liar? Go figure. We saw tapes of Maharishi where he repeatedly explained that the sounds of the mantras, especially as one approaches transcendence, had the effect of summoning very refined 'impulses of creative intelligence.' In other tapes, he explained that the 'impulses of creative intelligence' or 'laws of nature' were devas such as Indra, Agni, and so forth. He also explicitly said that in the proper state of consciousness, that repeating the name of 'impulses of creative intelligence' in Sanskrit had the effect of creating or summoning the 'form.' http://minet.org/www.trancenet.net/secrets/mantras.shtml On 12/3/2013 3:47 PM, authfri...@yahoo.com wrote: So Share, you've had another full day and two Dome programs to think about whether you'd like to get this issue out of your hair, or whether you want to prolong it indefinitely.

[FairfieldLife] Re: MMY's Mantras
Appendix I: For our practice, we select only the suitable mantras of personal Gods. Such mantras fetch to us the grace of personal Gods and make us happier in every walk of life.

Through japa, Realisation (Siddha) will result. There is no doubt about this. 'Gurudev Satsang' by Swami Brahmanand Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math http://www.paulmason.info/gurudev/gurudev.htm On 12/3/2013 1:23 PM, Richard J. Williams wrote: A mantra in seed form (bijaskara) is used in yogic meditation as a mnemonic device for transcending, to go beyond the the limitations of sense perception, in order to experience a fourth state of consciousness, which is beyond mere suppositions and discursive dialectic; a state of Creative Pure Intelligence, the ultimate, absolute reality. According to MMY, the absolute is knowledge structured in consciousness. So, let's first review what we know so far: According to MMY, writing in Beacon Light of the Himalayas (1955), the purpose of the TMer mantras are to fetch the grace of the Hindu gods. The Shankaracharya tradition is the custodian of the mantras used in the practice of TM. This has been confirmed by SBS, who stated in many satsangs that the mantras used in the Shankaracharya tradition are for the purpose of establishing an affinity with istadevata, that is, a personal god, represented by the mantra such as Ram, Shyam, Saraswati, etc. And, it has been established that the mantras given out in TMer initiation came from the tradition followed by SBS, from whom MMY received the mantras after sitting at the feet of the master. We now know that the mantras used by SBS came from his guru, SKS, a Saraswati Sannyasin of the Sri Vidya sect, headquartered at Sringeri which founded by the Adi Shankara in 810 AD. The Sri Vidya in turn originated in Kashmere and is related to the monist Trika philosophy of Kashmere Tantrism. The Adi Shankara visited Kashmere in 811 AD and was initiated into the shakti tantra sect, obtaining the Sri Yantra mandala, symbol of the Hindu Goddess Tripurasundari (Saraswati), which he then placed on the mandir of numerous sacred temples which he founded such as at Sringerimatha, at Kanchimatha, and at the Jyotirmatha. Main purpose of mantra: There are numerous uses for mantra, such as for protection, purification, propitiation, supplication, material gain, and for identification. One of the oldest uses of mantra is for clearing the atmosphere of malevolent entities, such as for the dedication of religious edifice architecture and for preparing the home and hearth for human habitation. But, without doubt, the highest and most pure use for mantra is for the purpose of yogic identification with the God of yogins - Ishvara, the Transcendental Person, mentioned in Yoga Sutras by Maharishi Patanjali. So, the main purpose of the mantra is identification with istadevata in deep meditation, called dhyana in Sanskrit. According to Sri Vidya, there is no difference between the name of istadevata, and istadevata Herself - they are one and the same. By invoking the name of the istadevata with mantra, the personal god manifests in the heart (chakra) of the sadhak, thus providing the ideal opportunity for the transcending. According to Brooks, The srividya, because it consists of indestructible seed syllables (bijaksara) rather than words, transcends such mundane considerations as semantic meaning. Accordingly, a bija-only mantra is not merely esoteric but inherently superior. Because it is purely seed-syllables [bijasaras] it is the purest form of mantra. It does not make a request or praise god, it is God's purest expression. Gayatri is great but it cannot match Srividya because it is still in language; it is Veda and mantra but when transformed into the Srividya its greatness increases. According to Susan Shumsky, a famous TM Teacher, Within the triangle is the mantra known as vagbhava bija (guru seed mantra)

Missed out on the Beatles, the greatest artist of all time? Thanks for letting me know where you are coming from. Go figure. According to the RIAA, the Beatles are the best-selling band in the United States, with 177 million certified units. They have had more number-one albums on the British charts and sold more singles in the UK than any other act. In 2008, the group topped Billboard magazine's list of the all time most successful Hot 100 artists; as of 2013, they hold the record for most number-one hits on the Hot 100 chart with 20. They have received 7 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award for Best Original Score and 15 Ivor Novello Awards. Collectively included in Time magazine's compilation of the 20th century's 100 most influential people, they are the best-selling band in history, with EMI Records estimating sales of over one billion units. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the Beatles as the greatest artist of all time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles On 12/3/2013 9:37 PM, emilymae...@yahoo.com wrote: Richard, some of us missed the Beatles - horrors, I know.
