In the yogic tradition, there are three kinds of bondage, " trividho bandhah"--two of them are vaikrtika bandha, renunciates becoming attached to objects of comfort and dakshina bandha renunciates who become dependent on money from lay people. These are warning signs that a renunciate is still in bondage.On Jan 6, 2006, at 9:11 AM, Premanand Paul Mason wrote:Guru Dev's lifestyle, organisation and methods of gaining welfare as depicted in his published biographies (listed below), are at variants with the descriptions recently offered by 'off_world_beings'.

If a person only owes 2,500 on his current car he could pay that off and be free of that debt, or he could get 2500.00 dollars ahead on his payments. As for a mortgage, one could easily get ahead on the that or be prepared to have a couple of payments should he lose his job. There are a lot of very important things a person could do with 2500.00 dollars in case of an emergency. Satisfying ones curiosity about "meditation" would be considered by most , as frivolous.

He is so frivolous. Could you tell us more about the Purusha center in the Himalayas.It may turn out that one of the best things M. did for humanity was his secondary things: he brought together the best Ayurvedic physicians and had them work together, he helped begin popularizing the idea of Holistic architecture from a vastu-tantra perspective, etc. He also popularized an old idea: meditating in larges groups for a postive effect. Not his version of it is necessarily the one to follow, but his marketing brought it to a wider public audience. In the example of Ayurveda, he may have helped rescue it from oblivion. More and more graduates of Ayurvedic medical schools are switching to Allopathy upon graduation: it's more money for them. Now that Ayurveda is becoming more popular, that trend may change.In regards to governments, the effect may be the opposite--it tuned governments in to what cults can be like--the sad after effect is some governments might be reluctant to interact (or at least be MORE suspicious) of spiritual methods in general.

Rapid enlightnement and global prosperity will be ensured if all people took advantage of all the Maharishi Technologies for Enlightenment. Full cost is $300,000.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: TM costs $3.30 a day for 2 years.
I'm not the one haranguing people about how they should give up this and that and basically do anything so they can get the $$ to start. I don't believe they should. I don't believe the benefits of TM, whatever they might be for an individual, are worth that kind of $$ or anything close to it. It just looks like a crass money-making scheme to me. So, no, I won't be contributing. But since *you* feel that way, I assume you will be putting in all or most of the $$. Correct?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: TM costs $3.30 a day for 2 years.
No, no interest in your scheme as I feel it's basically a huge waste of time. How many different ways does somebody have to say it? If you want to spend your time and $$ like that, be my guest.

No, I know enough now that I wouldn't want to give that. There ARE better choices. TM would be last on my list. Last on my list as well. Even if TM cost 25 dollars and the TMO were as dynamic and idealistic as it was in 1975, I would still direct interested people elsewhere. Of all the techniques I have done, the TM sidhis was the slowest and was the only one with an array of side effects. TM alone would, of course, be even slower than the TM sidhis. --- Vaj [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jan 3, 2006, at 5:50 PM, off_world_beings wrote: I know what you mean't .
