Right.. Not the linguistic origins, scriptural authority or caste but the pure shakti infused by a self realized master.

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.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Vag worse than just dishonest,much worse
LOL..well that's OK. You would have to be perfectly content what comes in your way and a certain trust in the existence. I remember I ran out of money during my Master's degree and I just had no money to continue. Someone just met me and offered to pay the entire tuition for the next semester, and another that found scholarship at school. I have to tell you I very much rejected the offer for the money, checking several times to make sure it was OK with him and the person just insisted.
