[FairfieldLife] A really silly comment......by none other than Mr. Knapp LSGM
If you read the puja, however, what is actually happening is the initiator is bringing Guru Dev, the Maharishi's dead teacher, to my awareness. To the Maharishi, Guru Dev was a still living presence in the Absolute. So I've often wondered if the Maharishi thought of the Puja as being a sort of possession of the initiator by Guru Dev's spirit? Mr Knapp on TMBlog. I wonder where he got the idea that Maharishi thought Guru Dev was still a living presence IN the absolute? That does not even jive with Eastern metaphysics 101, the Guru Dev had reached 'Tat tvam asi' i.e. *Thou Art That*it's too painful to go on it's so moronic, possessed?, gads!

In the intro to Love and God, p. 11, with reference to Guru Dev, Maharishi says We only pray Him to keep on guiding us, implying that he considers Guru Dev to still be playing a active role from wherever he is.

Esp. since we know Jim met the ghost of Guru Dev and went for a walk with it.

Now let's not make a joke of it! Everyone knows there's a saddening lack of restaurants on the astral plane. It's therefore only scientifically reasonable to assume TM pujas are the where the poor guy goes to get a meal. He's probably gettin' a little thin these days...

Performing the puja simply enlivens shakti and therefore enlivens the mantra which is about to be given.
