Too much TM apographa in this explanation. TMers think like ordinary householders so they give a narrative that only makes sense within their prescribed view. Renunciation (sannyasa) is neither a combination nor an alteration of meditation and action. Sannyasaa is the complete and unalterable abandonment of this world (or any world at all). Why did Swami Brahmananda decide to accept the kingly life of worldly adoration? This is the unanswered question.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Roots of TM
Indians don't eat three squares a day. They eat more like Europeans with one big lunch and two smaller meals. Some of the yogis only eat once a day or it interferes with their sadhana. After all these techniques slow ... you ... down. Americans need to adopt that too but it would be heresy to our industrial agricultural complex. Remember America is all about money. That's what we worship. Also yogis don't like added responsibilities. Probably many of them would flee the area if a institution wanted them as their leader. Again, it interferes with sadhana.

Re I never heard about any trickery. He accepted once, then reneged and ran away for a while. Then they convinced him to come live inside.: That could be the source of my confusion. Plato's philosopher-guardians in The Republic had to be coaxed into taking on the role of leading the society - they would have preferred to spend their lives in contemplation and studying geometry - but duty called. Guru Dev's reluctance to take up the position of Shankaracharya strikes me as coming from the same mind set. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues@... wrote : Re Why did Swa.

Me: It may have been after this that he disappeared for a while before finally accepting the position. The way Maharishi tells this story is that when they did all the pujas for him to be Shankaracharia, he said Are you done, now go. From his perspective it wasn't that he was tricked into it which makes him seem weak, but that the supporters were more enthusiastic about the whole thing than he was. I would have to dig up my notes to see how he claims it went down in more detail but it may be moot now that Paul Mason has done so much research. Funny how the nuances of this period are still fascinating to me after all these years. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, s3raphita@... wrote : Re Guru Dev was tricked into accepting the position: I was right!

What kind of book is this?
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Roots of TM
I've heard that according to the Veda: Brahman says, My indestructible
maya.If a person has realized this and is living this in every moment, then
roles, indeed everything, would be both Brahman and maya.
At that point, surely life would not have to be one thing or the other,
contemplation or worldly role.
Maya is covering when tamas dominates; veil when rajas dominates and ladder to
reality when sattva dominates.
A friend once heard Maharishi say that we can not imagine how inclusive Brahman
is.
Far in the distance is seen the owner of the house reverberating.
Hopefully not too sentimental (-:

These types of biographies contain lots of valuable information. However, all
of them tend to be hagiographies written by Western psychophantic householders.
Consequently none of them reflect the ACTUAL view of sannyasa held by someone
like swami Brahmananda Saraswati. He was not just a sannyasin, but rather a
Danda-Sannyasin, which is a specific category of stict renunciation.
Danda-Sannyasins have no concern with the world at all. Rather, they take care
of simple bodily needs and use their remaining life moments to engage in
nididhyasana (contemplation). This means examination of the apparent difference
between the Awareness-Self and experience itself. Between Self and Other.
Between Brahman and appearances.
It also means contemplating the Upanishad declarations that Brahman is reality
itself (satyam), Awareness itself (jnanam), limitlessness itself (anantam) and
that this apparent world is that very Brahman itself.
Why did Swa. Brahmananda abandon this realization-practice to engage in a
role-playing position as a kingly Shankaracharya. This is never addressed by
the biographies but is glossed over with pious platitudes.
PS: Don't bother replying with He loved us so much he wanted to save us from
ourselves christian theologizing B.S. Also leave off the He was a great
bodhisattva Buddhist B.S. These types of answers will only demonstrate lack of
understanding the question.

Any mention of the above?
Any?
A whiff of a hint of a nuance of a bit of a titch of a mention?
Nah, right?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Roots of TM
'Roots of TM' offers information about Maharishi's 'missing years', from the
time when his master passed away through to the gradual build up of his stated
mission to spiritually regenerate the world
I am looking forward to what Mason has to say, I always had the idea that those
years Marshy spent lazing around on his parent's couch when he wasn't hanging
out in the local hooka den with his hooligan friends. But we shall see.
I also like the idea it was written by Paul Mason since if I remember correctly
Nabby and a couple other true believers hated Mason for his other Marshy book.

Sounds like someone needs to be writin a book. The Edg Duveyoung compendium of the TMO's misdeeds, with a forward by (__), or as alternate title, How the Girish stole Christmas.
