LOL..I was rooting for the guy,love it, but Steve not being a pervert like Curtis who used his power in a cult to prey on innocent women it only made root for my beloved more. I would only have with sex with her, a goddess or just stay single. Anyway I don't know if I mentioned it or if you are conveniently forgetting it. I didn't realize she was under 21 but the bartender pointed it out and soon the security kicked her out. Anyway I ended up ending drinking the shot of Tequila I bought and 2 more because I now missed my beloved. This incident only confirmed my love for my beloved. Anyway Curtis had posted the week prior that I couldn't humiliate him but clearly he was crying, try to manipulate everyone by the end. Proved he is a bitch of mine, I can tweak him anytime I want..LOL.. But Curtis with a sharper eye and higher morals raised a few flags, and suddenly it's Curtis's who is being accused of debauchery, and becomes the victim of out and out slander, the likes of which I don't think we've been privy to here in some time. You raised no objection. When asked by a member if you felt this was appropiate behavior on Ravi's part, you refused to answer the question on the grounds that the question was not phrased properly.

(See www.invinciblity.org for preliminary research findings on the Invincible America Assembly.) We expected to hear good news coming from the Invincible Assembly and now we are enjoying receiving it every day from the world press, Maharishi said. Maharishi emphasized that this national transformation is just beginning.With this group of Yogic Flyers permanently established in America, all good will continue to come to the country a bright new sunshine is dawning right now for America and the world. Extensive Published Scientific Research Documents the Maharishi Effect Dr. John Hagelin, a world-renowned quantum physicist and director of the Invincible America Assembly, is leading a team of scientists and physicians who are monitoring the effects of the group practice on national economic, social, and even climatic trends. He said the positive developments created by the Assembly are consistent with prior studies. Extensive research published in leading, peer-reviewed scientific journals documents reduced negative trends, including reduced crime and violence, and improved economic and social trends when as few as the square root of one percent of a population practice Yogic Flying together in a group, Dr. Hagelin said. Scientists named this phenomenon the Maharishi Effect after His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the renowned Vedic scholar who founded the Transcendental Meditation program, and who predicted the beneficial impact of group meditation on social trends as early as 1975. Group of 2000 Yogic Flyers Needed to Make the Nation Invincible Dr. Hagelin said that the number of Yogic Flyers in the Assembly recently increased from 1200 to 1500 further intensifying the positive effect for the nation. And when the number of Yogic Flyers reaches the square root of one percent of the U.S. population (about 2000), there will be an even more dramatic improvement in national trends, and any lingering problems in the country will be quickly resolved. This is not wishful thinking, Dr. Hagelin said. This is hard science that has been field tested for over 50 years and documented through more than 600 studies conducted at over 250 independent universities and research institutes throughout the world. Dr. Hagelin added that groups of Yogic Flyers are now being established in a total of 40 countries to create a Ring of Invincibility around the globe and quickly raise the whole world to a state of permanent peace. The Invincible America Assembly is being funded by an annual $12 million grant from the Howard and Alice Settle Foundation for an Invincible America.

So, in that case sucker Taimni's translation for 'prajñaalokaH' (the light of the higher consciousness) might be acceptable. We seem to recall Maharishi once said something like: The acid test of full enlightenment is the ability to perform siddhi-s at will. Or something to that effect. In YS III 5, Patañjali seems to corroborate that: from the mastery of saMyama [follows] the light of consciousness; or stuff.

Mr Goldstein serves as an ambassador to education ministries in countries throughout the world, promoting joint programmes with MUM, which is located in Fairfield, Iowa, USA. After meetings in Bhutan, Mr Goldstein and other administrators at the university decided to start a new project. According to a university trustee who is involved in the project, 'One outcome of these meetings is the establishment, at MUM, of a new centre for the study of Gross National Happiness.' This centre operates under the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy. The Royal Kingdom of Bhutan is unique in the world for upholding the idea that the health of any society cannot be measured solely or even principally by material and economic measures of growth, such as Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. Instead, the government recognizes that the fulfilment and happiness of the people require balance in life, that inner life as well as outer life be nourished. The government, therefore, actively develops and uses more holistic measures, called Gross National Happiness, to assess national well-being and progress and to evaluate proposed plans for the country. Maharishi University of Management, due to its use of the most scientifically verified meditation technique in the world, Transcendental Meditation, in its curriculum, has had extensive experience assessing growth of happiness on an objective scale. 'The centre for study of Gross National Happiness at MUM will work not only theoretically, developing and employing measures of Gross National Happiness in an ideal society, but also practically to promote programmes that enhance balanced and integrated national life and development,' the trustee said. 'The centre aims to become a world-renowned institution, enjoying dynamic relationships with global experts, and would be very privileged to collaborate with the great pioneers in this field in the Kingdom of Bhutan.' © Copyright 2011 Global Good News®

[FairfieldLife] The value of Celebration
from Vaidya Ramakant Mishra's Adishakti LLC: From the beginning of civilization, all over the world, people of every culture and tradition have organized festivals to celebrate special occasions. In India, many festivals are celebrated throughout the year and they're often dedicated to the remembrance of a particular God or Goddess. In Sanskrit, the word for any festival is utsava. Utsava means an occasion that uplifts and enhances positivity (utsaha). According to the shastras, utsaha is that which cleans the light of the soul (sattwa). This is a state in which silence reverberates into dynamism. The Uts-A represents the vibration of A, the seed of all creation, which emanates from the source of the soul's light and illuminates the mind so that the mind is empowered by the nurturing, all-knowing light of consciousness. The mind that becomes connected to the soul's light in this way reaches a state of joy, clarity, and purpose that reinforces the soul's embodied quality of bliss and pleasure (sukha), and decreases grief (dukha) and aversion (dwesha). The nature of festival celebrations allows for this dynamic to occur automatically. Most festivals embody a common association with the universal light of the soul through the lighting of candles or ghee lamps. The practical purpose of using candles and ghee lamps to dispel outer darkness also plays a role in deepening the connection between the mind and the soul. When we pray or chant in candlelight, the sound vibration of prayer, coming from the deep silence of the light within us, vibrates with candlelight and becomes a part of it. Wherever the unified sound and candlelight travel, inside and outside the body, they create waves of positivity that melt away karmic shadows of deep grief, doubt, and aversion from the light of the soul. When people gather in festivals and aversion is transformed into bliss, enemies become friends and despair and fear turn into hope. Carak Samhita offers more detail about spirituality-based psycho-therapy. For almost all mental and emotional imbalances, Carak recommends a therapy called Sattwaujaya. It means winning over the light, enriching the light, and cleaning the light. According to Carak, there are three kinds of soul light (sattwa): 1. clean light (pravar sattwa) 2. medium light (madhya sattwa) 3. low light (heen sattwa). Pravar sattwa people remain always connected to their inner light whenever the heart lotus is open. No matter what goes on around them, they stay upbeat, kind, and ready to help. They lead dynamic lives but do not become attached to any specific outcome. They remain blissful and free of aversion and when they encounter mental, emotional, or physical trauma, which is a natural part of life, they bounce back quickly without feeling bad or looking for someone to blame. On the physiological level, Pravar Sattwa people are able to respond to trauma without releasing cortisol because when the soul light is clean and the heart lotus is open, any mental or emotional trauma can be met head-on without any long-term effects. Medium light or Madhya Sattwa people have either a half-open heart lotus or carry the shadows of karma in their soul light. When Madhya Sattwa people experience emotional or mental trauma, they tend to go back and forth between positive and negative thought. They doubt. Often, they believe and don't believe in God at the same time. This dynamic creates cortisol, which can eventually lead to illness. If the light of the soul (sattwa) carries any bad shadows of aversion and misery, the light can be cleansed by raising the bar of bliss (sukha) and determination (iccha) and by connecting the pure intellect (satya buddhi) to the mental intellect (mano budhi). The way we celebrate festivals, with candles, light, prayers, and gratitude, raises the bar of bliss, which opens the heart lotus and allows the universal vibration of A to cleanse the soul light. Then, Madhya Sattwa can become Pravar Sattwa. Carak recommends attending festivals as therapy for most any kind of emotional and mental imbalance, and it is not rocket science to see why. We can all testify that going to celebrations uplifts our mood, inspires us to recognize the best in ourselves and others, and empowers us to pursue life-affirming action. The third kind of light, or Heen Sattwa, can be created by one of two situations. Either the soul light carries a lot of darkness caused by karmic misery, doubt, and aversion so that the darkness goes to mind and plunges the mind into deep negativity. In another case, a person's soul light might be clean and sharp, but the heart lotus has shut down due to emotional shock, so the mind cannot receive the light of the soul.

[FairfieldLife] Pure Vaishnavism
http://www.garoiashram.org/english/babaslife.html In His words: The Supreme God is only one and There is only one Supreme God. No matter what the color of The Cow is, The milk they produce has the same color; Human body is the abode for all the 'Brahmas' And the same 'Brahma' plays in different forms. The same God is having and projecting several powers and abilities, and the people worship only this Supreme power in the form of A Deity of their choice. As an illustration, 'Durga' is having only one power to remove the Durgati (evil ways), for which she has been named as 'Durgati Nashini' (destructor of evil). Praying Durga will also amount to praying 'The Almighty'. Hence without worshiping several Deities one could and should concentrate on one Deity depending on the purpose and need, who could be Shiva, Krushna, Durga, Kali, etc. hence he says: Biswasa re Uswasa, Abiswase sarbanasa Belief in one will give relief from earthly measures, Disbelief leads to disaster. Here, we also might recall a stanza from the writings of Pundit Gopabandhu Das: Swetaswinee Dhaara Huai Asaara, aganana sankhyaa jaara Mahodadhi sange anga sanga hoi, iha lila sambhariba. Sada basantare ekai basanta, subutta tathya aabara Naahin vedaa veda Swetaswiniee saara, tirtha Mahodadhi dhara.

[FairfieldLife] Vaishnava supreme knowledge:Lord Jagannath and the Yuga change
Garoi is appropriately termed as the second Shri-Khsetra as it is constructed as a transit house of Lord Jagannâth. All the houses and debris have got a limited life, The Jagannâth temple's (the temple at the first or primary Shri-Khsetra) life will be exhausted, and again after limited time will be re-constructed. Garoi will serve as the transit-house in this period of transition. The transition also includes transition of Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga. The temple has been built for the Satya Yuga. Satya, which is stepping in slowly, will have its foot established with full-might on about 22nd June 2017 . There is no overnight change anticipated in this extremely difficult Yuga Karma (duty and work of the era). Mahapurusha Shri Shri Achyutananda Goswami has hinted in his Bhabisya Malikâ (an oracle about the events of the future), that this Yuga Karma game will be played in secrecy (Shunya Khela or The Game of Shunya) with a Sandhi Kâla (i.e. with a transition period) of about 12 years. Many will remain ignorant of the game, some will have some hints but cannot dig and understand further, some devotees will be able to witness the happenings with a conscious, and will secretly wait for the re-establishment of the truth. [Off note: the Yugakarma is not about destroying the civilization or mankind, as some prophecies imply; rather, its about establishing the truth, peace, compassion, forgiveness (satya, shanti, daya, khsma) firmly; its about partial cleaning with the force of the nature and divine, not about wiping off our lovely human race with a wrath, no there is no end to our race in 2012 or any other year as some prohecies were wrongly interpreted, projecting a sense of fear. Those prophecies do serve as a warning. There is no one Doom's day, its a slow process only to make things better at the end. What is to happen is a shift in the global conscious a paradigm shift- the time will change, the thinking will change, the perception will change. A little force is always required to bring about this change. Keeping righteousness and taking name of God is the path of we human beings, that is the saviour.] His holiness Baba Shri Buddhanath Das, had prayed in his last birth that his Guru shall remain always with him. Accordingly Lord Jagannath had blessed him and had said that he (Baba) will establish a temple (the said temple of Lord Jagannath) towards the end of Kaliyuga at Garoi. From here the Kalki Avatâr will appear and Kayibalya (Mahâprasad) will be prepared and all categories of Seers will be present in this place (in physical or ethereal form) during the crucial Yugakarma. It is informative to state that, a large mass (in ancient Orissa - Udra desha) believe that Mahapurusha Shri Achyutanada had descended from Lord Jagannath. He is regarded as someone who has spiritually emerged with Lord Jagannath and has attained Godhood, and at the same time he also has his own identity. Hence he is called Mahapurusha (great man).

Oh Please! They are not going against Guru Dev, they are trying to follow the guidelines set up by Maharishi himself long ago. Now, leave Guru Dev out of this, we don't know what he would have said. MMY was entirely clear about all of this and never ever budged from his position. Maharishi was clear, at times. This policy, I know, has consolitated during the final period of his life, but it wasn't always the same. And Maharishi could make exceptions to this rule, as I already said, for example in Lelystad. I don't blame you if you don't know that, but he did budge from his position. But in setting up 'rules', he would have to teach the administration, and usually was strong about it, I agree. The Rajas have to decide to make changes that MMY never did He did. The rules before were different (for example before the Muktananda event), and he would make exceptions himself. Now, maybe Maharishi would have changed this rule by now, but don't blame the Rajas or anyone else. This rule came from Maharishi and he was BLUNT about it. I am sure he was blunt to the administration. Yet, as you say yourself, it may be time for a change. The Rajas had no problem skipping the always-wear-a-crown thing, or inviting Beatles back, and even more so, use them for publicity, something unthinkable when Maharishi was still alive. And they even loosened the saints rule a bit, don't forget, but what I suggest is, keep these changes logical and transparent. What is illogical? There is a common belief in India, that once you have found your Guru, you don't need anybody else, right? We have Maharishi, we don't need Ammachi (or whoever), thats what you would hear in private conversations. That is to say, a Guru-Disciple relationship is assumed. The problem here is, that the TM movement is not at all upfront that this is the case. They are not telling, that Maharishi is our guru, but he is supposed only to be the founder of TM, at least publicly. Now, hence the confusion. Now, with regard to Maharishi being 'Guru', if he is a Guru to the TM people involved, to what people exactly? All TM teachers? Also TM teachers who are not really teachers anymore? And: Do they know this? Next: if we assume, that Maharishi is a guru to the people, which is not publicly said, it would be still possible, that people see different saints, as long as they don't take teaching from them, or rather as long as they don't become their disciples *simultaneausly*. There is an example often cited within TM, referring to Guru Dev, not seeing another saint or speaker, who comes to town, while all the Gurubhais go there. He stays in the Ashram, as his heart is completely filled with his master. Now a guest comes, nobody is in the Ashram to receive him, except Guru Dev, taking care of him, and finally the master finds out about the story, and viola, GD is just the most dedicated and devoted disciple. When citing this story, to TM teachers or sidhas, they usually forget to say: GD was having a relationship with his master that was personal throughout, he lived with him, he watched him daily, and he lived in his vibration. He had a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP

It is far from the sanitized Maharishi teaching they present today including his wacky two nervous systems ideas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system It is classically divided into two subsystems: the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS).[1][2] Relatively recently, a third subsystem of neurons that have been named 'non-adrenergic and non-cholinergic' neurons (because they use nitric oxide as a neurotransmitter) have been described and found to be integral in autonomic function, particularly in the gut and the lungs.[3] With regard to function, the ANS is usually divided into sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) subsystems. Within these systems, however, there are inhibitory and excitatory synapses between neurons.

When I was at MIU I had a chance to read through a bunch of transcripts of talks Maharishi gave in India in the early 60's. It included some wacky stuff including entering another body if yours wears out so you can continue your yoga. Shankara and his disciples found a hidden cave for Shankara to perform his kaya-pravesh, entering of another's body, which he had learned how to do in his youth. He went into deep meditation, and one by one shut down all of his bodily functions until he, too, was no more than a corpse. Two disciples sat in the cave and protected the vulnerable body of their master, while he did his work, for he would need to return to his own body later It is far from the sanitized Maharishi teaching they present today including his wacky two nervous systems ideas. But it would be nice if they were more honest about his actual teaching and how it progressed through his life, published it all and let people choose for themselves what they think. I have no skin in the game now but if I was still involved I would be really pissed to still be denied access to his full teaching. Glad you posted this Nabby. I remember how exotic and authoritative it all sounded back in 1975 when I started TM.

Part Two consists of questions addressed to Maharishi by audiences attending his lectures and the answers given by Maharishi.

The great and urgent need is for something to re-establish harmony in the individual human being and to give him peace; only from such an inner peace can wisdom and happiness be born. All that we call wisdom today, all knowledge, the whole process of endless fact-gathering must utterly fail to satisfy the real needs of man; for these real needs are called happiness, understanding, and wisdom, and they are not vain and unworldly aspirations but man's birthright. - Maharishi, 1961, London Price: $19.95 Item# TMQA

link for Brahmasthan slideshow: https://www.mgcwp.org/bijauri/ courses at the Brahmasthan: http://maharishiindiacourses.com/ It is a delight to briefly update you on two main developments that Arlene and I thought you might enjoy. First, the number of Maharishi Vedic Pandits is steadily increasing thanks to the kind support coming from around the world. We have now crossed 1,600 Maharishi Vedic Pandits at the Brahmasthan and we expect to be around 2,000 by year-end. Guests in Grand Hall Guests enjoy a celebration in the Grand Hall at the Karaundi Campus. Second, the experiences of those coming to the International Guest Campus are truly fabulous. If you have a moment, you might enjoy a short slideshow glimpse of the Bijauri campus put together by Drs. Chris and Ann Crowell. Click here for the slideshow. Beginning in the New Year, in addition to the daily Vedic Pandit recitation and listening to Laghu Rudrabhisheks or Maha Rudrabhisheks (11 or 121 Pandits) at least once a week, we are planning to offer our guests an experience, during certain weeks, of an AtiRudrabhishek (1,331 Pandits). So far this season 118 people from 27 countries have enjoyed the Brahmasthan campus. By the end of the season, based on current bookings we will have hosted 338 guests from 42 countries. You can get a feeling of their visits by viewing the photos, blog and experiences on the website of the Brahmasthan guest facility. Click here to view. For single men, there are also several Taste of Purusha courses this season, which offer the experience the Brahmasthan with the Purusha group at the Bijauri campus. Click here for details.

But I cannot ignore that this same org has more psychosis, suicide and meditational disorders than any meditation org I'm aware of. I regularly talk to people who will mention problems as simple as having to alter their life because they're afraid to go outside or in public. My heart goes out to these folks.

The tradition is such that the mantra is a very private and secretive conversation between a Guru and a disciple. It is said that when it goes in 6 ears the mantra's powers are lost...it has to remain in between the two ears of the Guru and the two ears of the Shishya or disciple any other person is not to be party to it. 2nd translator: First of all this mantra was not a mantra. The procedure for giving it was a guru can give it to the shishya but as Maharishi was not a brahman maybe he was keeping a picture of Gurudev to give the mantra...but according to tradition it has to be between the 2 ears of yours and the two ears of Guru, if it goes to six ears [i.e. via a TM teacher] then its a spoiled mantra.

We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of. They go on and on with all this bullshit about 'sanctity' -- don't give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want. Try to imagine what Clint would say if he found out that a bunch of fat men wearing dresses and gold crowns were declaring his fellow meditators equally unsanctified and unwelcome in the domes, for the sin of visiting spiritual teachers other than Maharishi. Who, incidentally, is DEAD, and thus not giving the best spiritual advice lately. Based on only meeting him once, and very briefly, I can easily see Clint walking up to the dome door guard, being asked for his dome pass, pulling back his suit coat to reveal the 44 Magnum tucked into his belt, and saying, Go ahead...make my day, as he walks past the blissnazi and goes inside. And if he did -- or if *anyone* did the same thing and made it public, all of this banning horseshit would be over forever. It would be like Rick's story of Bevan getting whupped to the ground by an angry husband and being too much of a pussy to ever do anything about it. The thing that enables spiritual nazis to keep getting away with being spiritual nazis is allowing them to keep their actions hidden. Bitching about it on an Internet forum read by at most 50 people don't do shit. If you don't like the policy, challenge it, and bring a couple of reporters and a film crew with you. Anything else is silent agreement with the nazis' right to do what they're doing. My best Clint moment in the TMO was on an ATR course in Switzerland. For some reason, I was given a nice room on the fourth floor -- sunny, spacious, and with a private bath. After a few days there, the course got a new German course leader. I guess he didn't like the room that had been assigned to him, so he decided to take mine. I came back from lunch one day to find that he had entered my room, packed up all my stuff and put it into my suitcase, and placed it outside the door, along with a note that said, I am the new course leader. I am taking this room. You have been moved to another room on the first floor. A key to the new room was lying on top of the note. But I still had the key to my original room. So, after knocking and finding it empty, I quietly opened the door and moved back in. I gathered up all of the course leader's things, not bothering to pack them, walked over to the window, and threw them out. I remember his puja set making a really pleasing clanking sound as it hit the pavement below. Then I moved back into my room, and did my afternoon's program, not mentioning the incident to anyone else. Interestingly, NO ONE ever mentioned it to me, either. The German nazi avoided me and all contact with me for the rest of the course, as did anyone else with any official capacity with the TMO. Buck, and others...stop bitching about the dome policies and just challenge them. Walk right past the blissnazis at the door, plop your ass down on the foam, and do your thing. See what happens. My bet is that if enough people did this, you wouldn't have to bitch on FFL any more. What, after all, are they going to DO to you? Call the cops, and then explain to them that they're keeping you out of the domes because you saw another teacher? Get real.

David: I'll write it for you... 2nd translator: He has also been told that the mantra has no meaning and that he simply has to recite it [mentally]. HH Swarupananda: This is not a mantra. Had it been Shrim i.e. S-H-R-I- M, then it would have been a mantra. Translator: He was given this mantra in front of Gurudev`s photo. So he wants to know whether this has been the tradition from long time ago? HH Swarupananda: Mahesh Yogi was not a brahnman and hence did not have the right to give anybody any mantra's hence he would place the Gurudev's picture so as to symbolise that the mantra was being given through Gurudev. The tradition is such that the mantra is a very private and secretive conversation between a Guru and a disciple. It is said that when it goes in 6 ears the mantra's powers are lost...it has to remain in between the two ears of the Guru and the two ears of the Shishya or disciple any other person is not to be party to it. 2nd translator: First of all this mantra was not a mantra. The procedure for giving it was a guru can give it to the shishya but as Maharishi was not a brahman maybe he was keeping a picture of Gurudev to give the mantra...but according to tradition it has to be between the 2 ears of yours and the two ears of Guru, if it goes to six ears [i.e. via a TM teacher] then its a spoiled mantra.

As luck would have it, he practices Kundalini Yoga. He tells me what's really happening is blowing trash out of my 3rd chakra, an especially important chakra for me as I suffered very powerful physical and emotional abuse as a child till the age of 16. I suspect Maharishi didn't talk about chakras because he truly did practice Yogurt Lite. We'd do a lifetime of meditation and the Begin laughter sidhis /End laughter then eventually reconvene a few centuries in the future to join into doing some serious work on our karma and consciousness. Maharishi's final words to Invincible: fine points about consciousness. Nothing with respect to the subtle or gross body. Perhaps this is because Maharishi spent his life in denial. His heart, kidneys, eyes, hearing and peripheral nerves were destroyed by diabetes he refused to treat. After a while you start to wonder if his constant references to the neck, the heart, the body weren't just for emphasis. Perhaps he was happily trying to be dissociated from his body.

Vedic Al-qaeda? Technological innovation led to what I term High Tech Unstressing, playing on the word Maharishi uses to describe complaints or manifestations of dissatisfaction that are natural outcroppings of the meditation process.40 Simply put, legions of former TMers have taken to the World Wide Web to unstressthey point out numerous discrepancies between what they were initially taught and what they later came to learn. Maharishi's attempt to put the Veda in the words of Western science and only gradually reveal ultimate truth (however neatly that coheres with his philosophy of teaching Advaita and yoga) not only failed to convince most Elite Hindus whom he attracted, but led to direct accusations of fraud. Such charges are exacerbated by current developments, which are openly lampooned on sites by former TMers. Not content with providing the individual with a panoply of Vedic tools for mere self-transformation, in 1992 Mahar- ishi helped create a full-fledged political entity called the Natural Law Party, which aims to achieve world transformation. Fueling the party rhetoric are premises about the universe, mankind, and social relations that have tradition- ally been labeled Hindu, but which are promoted by the party in the United States and other Western countries as secularized natural law. Yet comparing documents written in English and in the Hindi language, the party rhetoric has a profoundly different flavor when tasted in India. There, the Indian corollary to the Natural Law Partythe Ajeya or unconquerable Bharat India Partymakes no pretense about its intentions: jettisoning alien education, alien medicine, alien defense, alien economics, alien foreign policy, and alien laws, and urging the success of the Indianization of India. The Ajeya Bharat Party's mission is to promote and create a state grounded in knowledge of the laws of prakriti, the Hindu concept of materiality or nature.

We can attest that after decades for some of us, years for the younger ones and no TM or TM sidhis for the very old ones, the jumps we've made in outlook, experience and being less bothered by it all are way beyond what any of us have experienced on an aggregate of a couple years on IA or teaching for a couple years at MUM.

This inner voice gnawed at me all of these years. Now I see that TM was a form of amusement and a reason to be weird until my group and I eventually wised up and took real action. That real action, BTW, was spurred on by a poster to alt.meditation.transcendential when I complained of being stuck. The poster advised when feeling stuck, sponsor yagyas. I am sure that by now the TMO has to be aware of the private Vedic temple in VC and the by invitation only yagyas performed there. No, not Maharishi yagyas. Real, experienced priests of high regard (except in the TMO). Yes, I do have an invite for next time I'm in the area. Spare me the bullshit that paying downtrodden, third world country little boys to do yagyas for you is an abomination and that yagyas performed by another don't have any bit of the power doing your own simple pujas do.

He's hoping to inspire responses he can use as more fodder for his putdowns. But I'll answer his questions straightforwardly. (After all, curious as he pretends to be, he won't read my responses, so I'm safe.) I have *no idea* whether the three of them are (or were, in Robin's case) actually enlightened. I wouldn't be shocked if they were, I wouldn't be shocked if they weren't. It isn't of concern to me either way. I'm completely comfortable with the day-to-day way they conduct themselves. They're all very smart and thoughtful, they all have a good sense of humor; I find most of their posts pretty interesting. But I don't see them as demos or role models of enlightenment because I don't think any such thing exists. I think the notion that it does generates serious confusion about the nature of enlightenment. (It also, of course, generates opportunities for those who are troubled by their own failure to achieve enlightenment to attack those who consider themselves to have achieved it.) The example of these three has ZERO influence on my motivation to continue to meditate and see where it takes me. I've very much enjoyed the journey so far.

The word 'aakaasha' seems to appear only three times
in YS, III 41:

.. 42..
(kaaya + aakaashayoH sambandha-saMyamaat; laghu-tuula-samaapatteH;
ca + aakaasha-gamanam .. 42..)
The verbal root (dhaatu) of 'aa-kaasha' seems to be 'kaash':
kAz cl. 1. A1. %{kAzate} (perf. %{cakAze} , 3. pl. %{-zire}) , to be
visible , appear MBh. c. ; to shine , be brilliant , have an agreeable
appearance ib.: cl. 4. %{kAzyate} Dha1tup. xxvi , 53: Intens. P. A1.
%{cA4kazIti} , %{cAkazya4te} , to shine brightly S3Br. ii Ka1tyS3r. ; to
see clearly , survey S3Br. xi Pa1n2. 7-3 , 87 Va1rtt. 1 Pat.
From the root 'aa-kaash', there seems to appear only one verbal
form (in Shatapathabraahmana?):
1 AkAz(ind. p. %{-kAzya}) to view , recognize S3Br. vii.
As a noun 'aakaasha' according to CDSL, can have at least
the following meanings:
2 AkAza m. (Ved.) or (later) n. (ifc. f. %{A}) a free or open space ,
vacuity AitBr. S3Br. MBh. c. [127,1] ; the ether , sky or atmosphere
Naigh. S3Br. Mn. c. ; (%{am}) n. (in philos.) the subtle and ethereal
fluid (supposed to fill and pervade the universe and to be the peculiar
vehicle of life and of sound) Veda1ntas. c. ; Brahma (as identical with
ether) L. ; = %{AkAza-bhASita} below Comm. on S3ak. ; (%{e}) loc. ind. in
the air (a stage direction implying something said by or to a person out of
sight) Mr2icch. S3ak. c.
Well, as identical with ether above reminds us of this
suutra:
aakaashas tallin.gaat
That's from the samanvayaadhikaraNa of BS (I.1.22). Swami Shivananda
translates it like this:
The word Akasa i.e., ether here is Brahman on account of characteristic
marks (of that i.e. Brahman being mentioned).
Now, the word 'prakaasha' appears at least in these suutras of YS:
prakaashakriyaasthitishiilaM bhuutendriyaatmakaM
bhogaapavargaarthaM dRshyam. .. 18..
(prakaasha-kriyaa-sthiti-shiilam; bhuuta+indriya+aatmakam;
bhoga-apavarga-artham; dRshyam. .. 18..
[baahyaabhyantaraviSayaakSepii chaturthaH .. 51..]
tataH kSiiyate prakaasha+aavaraNam .. 52..
chakSuHprakaashaasamprayoge 'ntardhaanam .. 21..
(chakSuH-prakaasha-asamprayoge; antardhaanam.h .. 21..
bahirakalpitaa vRttirmahaavidehaa tataH prakaashaavaraNakSayaH .. 43..
(bahiH; akalpitaa vRttiH; mahaa-videhaa tataH prakaasha+aavaraNa-kSayaH.)
As Maharishi explained:
Referring to quantum electrodynamics, the Maharishi
explained the physics of Yogic Flying this way in a conversation with two
scientists: We teach our students that by concentration through meditation
they can create an impenetrable field of energy between the ground and their
bodies.The greater the field of energy, the higher the meditating man can
rise.
It is simple Q.E.D.[47][48]
Now, let's study the suutra following the YF-suutra:
bahirakalpitaa vRttirmahaavidehaa tataH prakaashaavaraNakSayaH .. 43..
The phrase 'vRttir mahaa-videhaa' could be translated e.g. to
'great mode of being bodiless'? Could that refer to the 'impenetrable
field of energy', created according to Maharishi by concentrating
on the relation between body and aakaasha??
Note that the words 'aakaasha' and 'prakaasha' are based on
the same verbal root, 'kaash'. According to Macdonell, with
nouns the prefix 'pra' has the meaning 'fore-'. We have a
feeling it often refers to something basic, or stuff, as
in 'praaNa' (from pra-an) or 'prakRti' (pra-kR). So, perhaps
'prakaasha' above refers to some kind of primal(?) light, which
appears in connection with Yogic flying, as that field of energy
causes destruction (kSayaH) of covering (aavaraNa) of light
(prakaasha).
It seems like an YFfer becomes a mini-brahma(n); as most of
us know by now, the word 'brahma(n)' comes from to root
'bRh', which means for instance 'to expand'. So, as the universe
expands because of brahma(n), an indivual becomes like that
doing YF! Rememeber:
yathaa piNDe, tathaa brahmaaNDe!
According to BS, brahma(n) is aakaasha 'tallin.gaat (tat; lin.gaat)',
so it seems to make sense that if an individual concentrates on
the relation between their physical body and aakaasha, they
become brahma(n), as it were??
Just some food for thought? -- Naught! LoL!

Then again we met when you gave a public lecture in Chicago in 1982 (I remember your mother crying in witnessing the intense debate between us at the end of your lecture). As I recall, at Arosa, you had a special status as a course participant, since you periodically would visit Maharishi in Seelisberg, while the rest of us were held steadfast in our obedience to the rules, which meant never leaving Arosa. I also observed you exercise your authority as Maharishi's surrogate on that course: you were determined to make sure Maharishi's will was being done in everything that went on there. I accepted this invigilator role because I sensed it came entirely out of your devotion to Maharishi. Then that brief and confounding court appearance in Ottumwa [1983], where you played an audio tape of Maharishi's gruff, one word answers (in the negative) to my questions about the validity of my spiritual claims to represent Maharishi (I had brought roses in anticipation of the full and final endorsement by Maharishi). The only other time I think I found myself in rapt conversation about you was with Tony Harding who was at Cambridge with you (he getting a Second Class, you a Firsthis enthusiasm, admiration, and reverence for you was unqualified): this was on the Two Week Extension after my first ATR (1975). Now, while so many persons who were close to Maharishi, served him, and devoted their lives to him, have left the Movement, you have remained the loyal and faithful disciple. Not only this; but you have acted in the absence of Maharishi (Now. . .wholly given over to unfamiliar affectionsAuden), upholding to the letter what you deem to be the inviolable truths of his Teaching and the Tradition out of which he came. This has made you unpopular among many initiators, former initiators, governors, ex-governors: because they would have you compromise, adapt, modernize the Movement, to bring it into conformity to what seems to be what reality, nature has determined (based upon the degree to which Maharishi's vision and goals have been realized) it is entitled to be. (Of course had Maharishi's promises been fulfilled there never would have been any protest against the most scrupulous enforcement of the letter of the law; but in the wake of a profound sense of disillusionment, frustration and betrayal, the dogmatic adherence to the context within which Maharishi first laid down his rules appears to be maladaptive and reactionary. And yet I understand it *must* be thus; else the whole thing will begin to collapse from the inside. The Movement will officially lose its soul.) But why am I writing this letter to you, Bevan? It is to inspire you in your very raison d'etre: which is to carry on the beautiful dream of Maharishi, and bring about everything that you believe was his mission in the world. Now how can this letter act in accordance with your most fundamental desire? Simply this, Bevan: by explaining your relationship to Maharishi and how you maintain your absolute love for and surrender to him (even in his death) in the face of all the contradictory evidence that 1. Maharishi was not the holy, virtuous, infallible, loving Master he implied he was [and we were convinced he was]; 2. Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi program, has not produced a trillionth of what we innocently and ingenuously believed it would, based upon what Maharishi told us, and based even on our own personal experiences (at least up to and through the mid-seventies). What I (and others) want to know, Bevan is: How do you live with, reconcile, integrate these damning facts about Maharishi with your present posture, since, from all that I can infer from your attitude and actions, you believe that everything is just as it was, say, in 1976 in Arosa: There is nothing to explain, defend, justify about Maharishi's behaviour nor the diminishing power and prestige of Maharishi and his Movement. It seems a terrible strain and effort, the classic posture which is incompatible with the very first principle of TM: innocent, simple, natural, effortless. *Suffering is unnecessary*; *suffering means weakness*. Well, Bevan, do you not admit Maharishi

Transcending is most important the rest is secondary. The mantras given to initiates in the west help with the pressing material problems which everyone needs.
