Even more succinctly in these few words,...offering ourselves to the Totality of Brahm In other words, transcend our illusory individual nature.

If this is what it takes to continue to make the TM technique available in the world, what is there to take issue with? Professor Dr. John Konhaus Raja of Japan Dr Feldman announces daily global ceremony of gratitude to Vedic Tradition of Total Knowledge by Global Good News staff writer Global Good NewsTranslate This Article 22 January 2008 On the 22 January Global Family Chat, broadcast daily via satellite and over the Internet on Channel 3 of the Maharishi Channel, Dr Benjamin Feldman, Minister of Finance and Planning of the Global Country of World Peace, announced a new programme for Teachers of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation. Speaking to the World Congress of Rajas and Ministers of the Global Country of World Peace, Dr Feldman said that 'today is the beautiful full moon of January marking the completion of the auspicious sixth month of the First Year of Invincibility', as marked by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Founder of the Global Country of World Peace, from last Guru Purnima* [29 July 2007]. In August 2007, Maharishi started the tradition of global Puja on every full moon following Guru Purnima, the full moon in July. (Please visit the Global Good News features on Maharishi's addresses on the full moon celebrations in August and September 2007). Dr Feldman said, 'It will be our collective joy to perform Puja to Guru Dev** today, as Purusha*** . . . are doing all over the world on this auspicious day.' Puja is the Vedic ceremony of gratitude to Guru Dev and the Vedic Tradition of Total Knowledge, the oldest tradition of knowledge on earth. As Maharishi explained in a recent address, 'The Puja to Guru Dev is the mechanics of nourishing every fibre of the administration of Natural Law, and of nourishing all life on earth.' Dr Feldman continued, 'And we invite all the Teachers of Transcendental Meditation here and everywhere to have Puja to Guru Dev from this full moon to the next full moon in their Centres and in their groups every day, joining Maharishiji in offering ourselves to the Totality of Brahm as we had been led by him, and to bring ourselves to the level of the blessings of Guru Dev, the Light of God, for the invincibility of every nation in Maharishiji's world, in Maharishiji's whole family of nations. 'We offer to Guru Dev our confidence. We return to Guru Dev his own blessings, Maharishiji's blessings for the world, and the absolute certainty that the 35 countries that already have invincibility in the number of [practitioners of Transcendental Meditation] and Yogic Flyers that have been trained there, and with all the 48 countries led by all the Rajas of the Global Country of World Peace together to create this memorial to peacethe Tower of Invincibility in every nationbliss will expand to fill the whole world and administration through silence will guide the world in perfection. 'So with Maharishiji and Maharajaji [Maharaja Nader Raam, first ruler of the Global Country of World Peace], each of these offerings that we offer in Puja to Guru Dev are offering the same blessings of Guru Dev to him, with Maharishiji.' Then the World Congress of Rajas and Ministers of the Global Country of World Peace took part in the global ceremony. * Guru Purnima is the day in the Vedic Calendar which honours the Vedic Tradition of Total Knowledge, traditionally celebrated each year on the full moon in July. ** Maharishi's Master, Shri Guru Dev, His Divinity Brahmanand Saraswati, Jagatguru Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Himalayas *** Maharishi has explained that Purusha means the Self, the quality of infinite silence of the Unified Field of Natural Law. Purusha also refers to members of the Maharishi Purusha Programmewhich was designed by Maharishi for men who wish to dedicate themselves fulltime to the most rapid pace of evolution possible and creating world peace. This is accomplished through the extended group practice of the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme, including Yogic Flying, and activity dedicated to the fulfilment of the many programmes of Maharishi's worldwide organizations.

Hagelin is assembling a national team of non-Raja leaders to run the TMO in the U.S. As the Rajas are beginning their foreign assignments (to be administered from Vlodrop - what is this, day 60-something of an indefinite period of the gathering of Rajas there ?), the stage is set for a fresh face of the TMO in the U.S. With the Latin American TMO growing rapidly, MUM will likely see a huge increase in enrollment from those countries. Supposedly, someone has already agreed to finance a large MUM expansion. With a much larger MUM student body, and a Raja-less face of the TMO in the U.S., Hagelin might lead the TMO in the U.S. in the direction of relevancy. Hagelin probably negotiated the above conditions before agreeing to wear the Raja uniform in Vlodrop. Hopefully, he will never wear it in the U.S., lest he risk losing the opportunity for a new face of the TMO. For this scenario to play out, all references to and photos of rajas would have to be removed from all TMO websites. As it is now, it won’t take long for a school administrator or prospective meditator or MUM student to do a little Internet research and come up with some pretty weird stuff.

So they're currently going through a phase of having to prove themselves by by advocating more and more extreme ways of showing off their loyalty. Much like the Taleban in Afghanistan felt the need to blow up Buddhist statues to prove how muslim they were. It's a standard script so we can work out what's going to happen next. The next stage is to target people who don't engage in public displays of loyalty, they will be regarded as suspects, spies and dissidents. If people can earn loyalty points by snitching on their friends and neighbours they will. Maybe people who don't wear light cream suits will have their finger nails pulled out or something. Because no one depends on teaching to make a living, actually teaching people is irrelevant, what counts is how big your tower of invincibility (missile system, engine size, penis, replace according to circumstance) is, how many people are in your army of pundits/sidhas and how much good news you can make up. These are the chips in the game of social domination currently being played out in Vlodrop. All we can do is watch with horror or laughter. Of course the best way to show off one's appreciation of Maharishi's knowledge would be to drop the prices, allow lots of people to learn and allow ordinary teachers to teach. But hey we're not really interested in that, we want to show off how devoted we are by building towers, making a big show of emotion and best of all, executing dissidents. Well done. If this were Slashdot I'd mod you some points for insightful. You paint a scary picture but hey, for me it's a buffet I visit once every 7 years so just as I want a CNN channel that does not show mud slinging of whiny children or BREAKING NEWS: School Bus Accident, Details Unfolding since the phony respect each candidate paid one another during the Iowas caucuses has passed, I can turn my eye away from this guys in the Flash Gordon hats for another 7 years and see how things are then.

I haven't had such belly laughs in years. But let me try to understand your arguments. You're saying that Maharishi did not have a hidden agenda of using the West to awaken the East, of spreading Maharishi brand Hinduism throughout the world? Yes, he had an agenda but, no, it wasn't hidden. He told us quite explicitly what he was doing by packaging TM as a non-denominational, non-belief, non-religious program. And, no, I truly believe it wasn't a case of him thinking: TM is part of the Hindu religion and, therefore, I have to disguise it in order for the suckers of the West to buy into it. To him, TM was very much a universal thing that was separate and apart from his own personal Hinduism and could, on its own, stand apart from the trappings of religion. And it was with that very worldview that he packaged TM and, successfully, brought it into the world. And that's how things were progressing until about 1977-9 when things started falling apart, largely from his own doing. And I refer to an abandonment of the above described universal non-religious approach. This of course runs counter to the way it was explained to us wide eyed children: that Maharishi was giving us what we needed at the time and or that our raising the world's consciousness allowed the Maha Rishi to cognize more and more of the Vedic truth, or as I always believed, to pull all of this shit out of his ass. I don't know who was explaining all this to you or whether it was done in some official capacity. But I can tell you what I was taught as both a meditator who learned TM from the 7-step program and as a teacher in Teacher Training and that was that the TM Program was (1) not a religion; (2) not a philosophy or belief; and (3) the organisation taking on the responsibility of disseminating this knowledge would itself embody those very principles (because to do otherwise would be to stop being universal and therefore alienate some potential practitioners of TM). Dr. BM doesn't just have those funny initials for nothing. Of course we've read which group of great seers and Shankaracharias granted him the title he scribbled on that stationary in London. Let me speak a bit more sweetly and say that he pulled that one out of the air as well. I don't quite get your problem with this becoming a religion. As religions go, I would probably be the first in line to sign up. But once it is a religion, you lose the potential to get 99% of the people on the planet to sign up. That's not being universal. Hey, I'd love to have a guru and sit cross-legged on the Ganges at the feet of a master and get darshan and all that. Must be a wonderful path! But that's not the path I chose for myself; I actually bought into the whole TM 20 minutes twice a day and then go into activity and, according to one's own religion and values and traditions and common sense, perform action. I truly, honestly believe that to be THE highest and fastest and most effective path to enlightenment. And for the vast, vast majority of Westerners (i.e., 99.9% of Westerners in the TMO) performing

He probably should have preceeded his statement by saying To

Speaking to the World Congress of Rajas and Ministers of the Global Country of World Peace, Dr Feldman said that 'today is the beautiful full moon of January marking the completion of the auspicious sixth month of the First Year of Invincibility', as marked by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Founder of the Global Country of World Peace, from last Guru Purnima* [29 July 2007]. In August 2007, Maharishi started the tradition of global Puja on every full moon following Guru Purnima, the full moon in July.

Dr Feldman said, 'It will be our collective joy to perform Puja to Guru Dev** today, as Purusha*** . . . are doing all over the world on this auspicious day.' Puja is the Vedic ceremony of gratitude to Guru Dev and the Vedic Tradition of Total Knowledge, the oldest tradition of knowledge on earth.

Dr Feldman continued, 'And we invite all the Teachers of Transcendental Meditation here and everywhere to have Puja to Guru Dev from this full moon to the next full moon in their Centres and in their groups every day, joining Maharishiji in offering ourselves to the Totality of Brahm as we had been led by him, and to bring ourselves to the level of the blessings of Guru Dev, the Light of God, for the invincibility of every nation in Maharishiji's world, in Maharishiji's whole family of nations. 'We offer to Guru Dev our confidence. We return to Guru Dev his own blessings, Maharishiji's blessings for the world, and the absolute certainty that the 35 countries that already have invincibility in the number of [practitioners of Transcendental Meditation] and Yogic Flyers that have been trained there, and with all the 48 countries led by all the Rajas of the Global Country of World Peace together to create this memorial to peacethe Tower of Invincibility in every nationbliss will expand to fill the whole world and administration through silence will guide the world in perfection. 'So with Maharishiji and Maharajaji [Maharaja Nader Raam, first ruler of the Global Country of World Peace], each of these offerings that we offer in Puja to Guru Dev are offering the same blessings of Guru Dev to him, with Maharishiji.'

No more need to pretend... The religion of Guru Devism is born. It's only 11 days since Maharishi gave up control of and management of the TMO and the clowns -- I mean the Rajas -- that have taken over have, as Curtis has indicated, already gone the extra mile to solidify the religious nature of the Movement. This supports the theory that I have presented on this forum from time to time: that Maharishi abandoned the TM is not a religion or philosophy tenet of the TM Program because he was badgered to do so by the sycophants that have surrounded him for the past 35 years. And now those very sychophants have become the gate-keepers. They wore the poor man down by continually demanding that he give them the real knowledge despite his continual admonitions that the TM technique was the full and complete program. Well, Maharishi may be enlightened but he is only human. And at some point he threw his hands up and said: Okay, if you want 'the real knowledge' I guess that's what I have to GIVE you. So now we've got THIS catastrophy on our hands: Rajas, tinfoil hats, Vedic peanut butter, etc. Well, the inmates have got the reigns of the ship now and, presto!, we're prostrating once a day for the next month. Abraham? Can you please bring Isaac over to the alter? Yeah, and bring some of those briquettes, too, while you're at it... Man, I'm in a mood to laugh, laugh, laugh. Thank you. I haven't had such belly laughs in years. But let me try to understand your arguments. You're saying that Maharishi did not have a hidden agenda of using the West to awaken the East, of spreading Maharishi brand Hinduism throughout the world? Yes, he had an agenda but, no, it wasn't hidden. He told us quite explicitly what he was doing by packaging TM as a non-denominational, non-belief, non-religious program. And, no, I truly believe it wasn't a case of him thinking: TM is part of the Hindu religion and, therefore, I have to disguise it in order for the suckers of the West to buy into it. To him, TM was very much a universal thing that was separate and apart from his own personal Hinduism and could, on its own, stand apart from the trappings of religion. And it was with that very worldview that he packaged TM and, successfully, brought it into the world. And that's how things were progressing until about 1977-9 when things started falling apart, largely from his own doing. And I refer to an abandonment of the above described universal non-religious approach. This of course runs counter to the way it was explained to us wide eyed children: that Maharishi was giving us what we needed at the time and or that our raising the world's consciousness allowed the Maha Rishi to cognize more and more of the Vedic truth, or as I always believed, to pull all of this shit out of his ass. I don't know who was explaining all this to you or whether it was done in some official capacity. But I can tell you what I was taught as both a meditator who learned TM from the 7-step program and as a teacher in Teacher Training and that was that the TM Program was (1) not a religion; (2) not a philosophy or belief; and (3) the organisation taking on the responsibility of disseminating this knowledge would itself embody those very principles (because to do otherwise would be to stop being universal and therefore alienate some potential practitioners of TM). Dr. BM doesn't just have those funny initials for nothing. Of course we've read which group of great seers and Shankaracharias granted him the title he scribbled on that stationary in London. Let me speak a bit more sweetly and say that he pulled that one out of the air as well. I don't quite get your problem with this becoming a religion. As religions go, I would probably be the first in line to sign up. But once it is a religion, you lose the potential to get 99% of the people on the planet to sign up. That's not being universal. Hey, I'd love to have a guru and sit cross-legged on the Ganges at the feet of a master and get darshan and all that. Must be a wonderful path! But that's not the path I chose for myself; I actually bought into the whole TM 20 minutes twice a day and then go into activity and, according to one's own religion and values and

I don't think so, Shemp. To paraphrase means to restate the same thing in
different words or a different form--it works on the principle that meaning is
that which can always be said some other way. But this is not what happened.
There is a huge difference between a republic and theocracy.

It's all a test by him to see who actually listened to his instructions. You know how everyone always says that the crazy way that Maharishi instructs people to do this and that is designed to weatherstrip them and acclimatize them and make them flexible? Well, that's precisely what this whole sordid set- up of the Movement is. He's been waiting for 30 years for someone to say: STOP THE INSANITY. But no one has come forth 'cause no one paid attention in TTC. I did and it's very lonely here. Well that's quite interesting. Perhaps that explains why the people who are privately most ON THE PROGRAM, as you would have it, are having the greatest of unfolding. The ones who looked at this all and scoffed are sitting around with me and others who have places off campus and we're all in joy and glory and things are just unfolding minute by minute and we're having cocoa and AW cheese chili dogs and bacon and egg suppers. New very lucrative opportunities back on our home planets are tracking us down to deliver contracts to sign. We're thinking of getting our own printer and fax things are coming at us so fast. Meanwhile the thousand heads are reading experiences which are boring recaps of the previous broadcasts or tapes from Maharishi and those of us in joy are all saying Heart? heart? I don't I detect any heart here. This doesn't ring in me as an authentic experience. Meanwhile, we're prancing around together in 200% ^^ 2. And the citizens who are more Catholic than the Pope, so to speak, are suffering greatly so we try to lose them as fast as possible and go our way and bounce with joy (out of eyesight of the spies).

In August 2007, Maharishi started the tradition of global Puja on every full moon following Guru Purnima, the full moon in July.

The religion of Guru Devism is born. It's only 11 days since Maharishi gave up control of and management of the TMO and the clowns -- I mean the Rajas -- that have taken over have, as Curtis has indicated, already gone the extra mile to solidify the religious nature of the Movement. This supports the theory that I have presented on this forum from time to time: that Maharishi abandoned the TM is not a religion or philosophy tenet of the TM Program because he was badgered to do so by the sycophants that have surrounded him for the past 35 years. And now those very sychophants have become the gate-keepers. They wore the poor man down by continually demanding that he give them the real knowledge despite his continual admonitions that the TM technique was the full and complete program. Well, Maharishi may be enlightened but he is only human. And at some point he threw his hands up and said: Okay, if you want 'the real knowledge' I guess that's what I have to GIVE you. So now we've got THIS catastrophy on our hands: Rajas, tinfoil hats, Vedic peanut butter, etc. Well, the inmates have got the reigns of the ship now and, presto!, we're prostrating once a day for the next month.

What is the nonprofit designation of the TMO anyway? How can you claim it is anything but an religion.

I think we can all safely just toss the Collected Papers now, don't ya think? No more need to pretend... The religion of Guru Devism is born. Boy, am I glad Maharishi decertified all those 10s of thousands of teachers several years ago, including me. Pressure's off. I remember when Benny droned on and on and on and on at a recent event (coronation of the Rajas I believe), I felt we had achieved a new level of ridiculousness).
