RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Importance of Group Meditation
A morality, Q: I don’t recall anything about “principles of higher moral character” in the air when we first came here from Amherst. A: Meditation in groups, Maharishi was consistent the whole way about the utility of group meditating influencing a wellbeing of good for others at a distance. This remarkable idea in practice is a simple disruptor to a lot of people’s material paradigm but after so many decades of inquiry in to this observation the science has well borne out the hypothesis. And, Guru Dev too in his spiritual construct on moral order could have easily agreed now given what all we know from the inquiry of science, that people who do not go to group meditations when they could join with them are being amoral in their selfishness. That someone sitting out in a coffee house whether in Leiden watching videos on their laptop or those meditators idle downtown around the Fairfield, iowa town square at Paradiso, the Cider House, the Sushi bar, or in Revelations during the communal group meditation is near to worthless and worse morally in their contribution to the general good and communal welfare, a drag, amoral. So this, the virtue of group meditation is now in the reach of this spiritual but not religious time of science and spirituality that we do live in. Yet, people who would stay home by themselves, be it some Raja hold up somewhere out there by themselves, or an editor working overtime somewhere and may be would meditate later, but also an administration and its defenders with a religious-like adherence to ill-serving guidelines that should keep people away who could otherwise be meditating with the group evidently are all worst than sad but pretty bad morally. Jai Guru Dev.

For outsiders or people from away looking in on the experiment I recommend their reading "Greetings From Utopia Park" and listening to the NPR 'Fresh Air' interview of Claire Hoffman for insight to how it went. I don’t recall anything about “principles of higher moral character” in the air when we first came here from Amherst. Q: I appreciate what you’re doing with the group meditation thing, but I like meditating at home. I usually take a nap first, then just sit up and meditate. Times vary. A: Evidently a lot of people feel this way also about meditating with the TM group, not turning out for what was superradiance of the group. The numbers in the Dome meditation are incredibly low now. # ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance.

This teaching was one of the things also used to convince a change in the administration policy at a point to modify the ‘long’ IAAssembly morning program rounds to get it all shortened down more to what it is now with the idea according to the teaching to get them out of there and in to the world and community before the mid-day and to give them longer in the afternoon to ‘do things’ of life and be in the community. That was important to have happen at the time for people’s health and general wellbeing. The long program the way it was enforced was turning folks in to pale renunciates in front of us here in the community. Then it is just a matter of how people may use their time between meditations. Turning compost for health is not a bad use of time. Meditate and perform action. Communicating this by FFL was an effective element at the time in turning this around for the better. .

[FairfieldLife] Re: Guru Tattva
TMO has people like Claire Hoffman spontaneously levitating several feet! We have never seen such a thing in at least 1o,ooo years if not millions. TMO has not the least lack of Guru Tattwa, our Guru Maharaja Adhiraja Adiraja / Dr Tony Nader shows the Ramayana in the physiology of every individual. No one alive has come out with more profound knowledge and anyone who listens to him or read his work has no doubts about this. Actually the whole movement is full of Guru Tattva, people who just visit with the long time Governors and Sidhas feel their consciousness elevated just in their presence alone! even more so the Mother Divine and Purusha. TMO is full of this most profound success of mass and massive elevated consciousness such that it is creating a new era for humanity. I met your Guru, by comparison he was more like just an ordinary man.
[FairfieldLife] Re: Smitten
Netineti, you do drive an interesting distinction between a continuum of some who are ‘awakened’ in the BATGAP exploration of it and then those who have capacities to mediate a transformation of other people’s spiritual state, in a saintly way. Your guy seems to have capacity chops on the saintly axis. http://www.batgap.com/ Interviews: Mysticism by Type and Altruistic Community https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/communal-studies-forum/CUCpSQ1G6SM https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/communal-studies-forum/CUCpSQ1G6SM ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Thanks for sharing with us here the particular unorthodox spiritual road that you have taken in your life, Netineti. Yours is not an uncommon road from many here in the old Fairfield, Iowa meditating community. People from here had found these kind of transformational spiritual healer teachers also. Maharishi encouraged it at times. Guru Dev certainly did. In the 1990’s and -00's many of the more significant transformational spiritual teachers were propelled in to culture by an expertise of TM people at making gurus. Often you would see TM people in the organizations doing the organizing and fronting. It is a long list of sat guru calibre who have visited Fairfield out of simple connection. Some lot of national leaders in these organizations have lived here at times over the years. What I notice now in these organizations is that as the baby-boomers are demographically ‘clocking out’ and now you see a different group of middle aged people doing the mature work of organizing, speaking and writing for these people, work that was formerly fronted by TM people. I know of some here who see Ganapathy as they can. Apparently some years ago it was being arranged for him to visit to Fairfield but that was derailed at the time and he stayed away to Chicago instead (some story about this). It is a matter of initiative now. I would bet that this could be invited and arranged by some folks for Ganapathy now. Fairfield is what it is, a spiritual place, a spiritual community. In the community he would be respected and appreciated in the nature of how Fairfield, Iowa continues at a top of spiritual communities in the country. Something like as a spiritual heart of the country. For instance, Fairfield, Iowa as the number one Top City for Meditation. 30 Top Cities and Towns for Meditation in America An article: http://www.sonima.com/meditation/top-cities-for-meditation/ http://www.sonima.com/meditation/top-cities-for-meditation/ Kind Regards from Fairfield, D ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Netineti Writes: It took me awhile to offer a response.

Rick should be so fortunate for such darshan of Sri Swamiji. If he wants to interview Him, he would need to come to Dallas, TX during the next Guru Purnima, when Sri Swamiji will be at the most amazing Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple for 20 days. I could most likely arrange it if the intention is pure. About these "Maha" saints What have they done for the world? Do they have 9 Guinness World Records for World Peace? Are their functions free? Do 300,000 people flock to them in order to chant Hanuman Chalisa in their presence? Do hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life around the world sing Hanuman Chalisa 14 billion times in the year to contribute to World Peace? Do 70,000 line up hours before dawn on Makara Sankranti and Yugadi just to walk in front of Him, not looking for a hug? Do 100,000 attend Healing and Meditation concerts? Do children as young as 5 years old find these so-called Maha Saints so inspiring and attractive that they memorize the entire 700 verses of Srimad Bhagavad Gita in 6 months? Do these people you refer to manifest in 8 places at the same time for their devotees? Do these people bring the dead back to life? So many thousands of miracles of devotees lives being dramatically changed as a result of His Compassion. This is what I call "Maha". I am very attuned to the mindset of the TMO. I lived deeply in the TMO tribe from 1971 until the turn of century. I left a wonderful homestead outside Fairfield in 2003. Like a grazing cow, I was told there was no better pasture, so I did not go looking over the fence for better. Why? #1:

[FairfieldLife] Guru Tattva
Jaya Guru Datta Some random thoughts presented here. Guru Tattva is what was missing in the TMO and continues to be THE most important element for the success of any venture. Only a True Guru can bring the celestial realm to devotees on Earth. We were told that the TMO followed the Shankaracharya Tradition and Holy Masters. Doesn’t that mean that the teachings of Adi Shankara should be taught and preserved? Where in the TMO is this being propounded? Adi Shankara did not say that meditation was the fastest most efficient method to attain Liberation in this Kali Yuga. “Bhaja Govinda!” Nama Sankirtana is what He commanded as _THE_ path. We named the Holy Masters in the puja prayer, but did anyone tell us who did what in order to be in that lineage? Parashara, Vyasa, Shuka. Amazing gifts from these Maharishis that we were never given nor encouraged to pursue. We all knew how high we felt after chanting the initiation mantras. Imagine getting, learning and singing the thousands of cognitions by a True Guru, a _Real_ Maharishi. "Sri Guru Gita" is THE MOST POWERFUL PRAYER. Sri Swamiji sings it ever so beautifully on the album “Sri Guru Gita” Which He also sends us to Kailasa just listening to it. Here is link to Sri Guru Gita with lyrics and meaning: https://vimeo.com/49740465 https://vimeo.com/49740465 In Verse 123, Lord Shiva tells that if this "Guru Gita" is read, listened to, written or given to other, in all devotion, ignorance is dispelled. No other text can claim this. The key here is DEVOTION. In verse 124, Lord Shiva says it is 16 times more powerful than _any_other prayer. It has the uniques capability to dispel all sins, destroys all hurdles and difficulties. No other prayer does that. Lord Shiva tells in “Sri Guru Gita” that there is no concept greater than Guru. In verse 137 He tells Goddess Parvati: “Guravō bahavassanti śiṣya vittāpa hārakāḥ Durlabhassa Gururlōkē śiṣya santāpa hārakaḥ” Meaning: There are many Gurus in the world who plunder the wealth of their disciples. But it is very difficult to get a Guru who robs the disciples of their passions. Have you ever read the Guru Ashtakam” that was composed by Adi Shankara? Nothing greater than Guru. What Guru Tattva teaches is that when one's Guru passes, they should seek out another Guru. Om Namah Shivaya
