All of us, spread around the globe, and yet, united, through our association with Maharishi, and the myriad knowledge he brought out. It is so easy to judge a global public figure. Some go at it, as an exercise in compensation, for their own failings, and others to confirm their own set of beliefs. I find it amazing, his reach and influence on all of us. Some of us got off the train early, perhaps fearful of the universal momentum that Maharishi engendered in each of us, and its ability to mechanically dissolve any boundaries.

And yet, there are a few, who must persist, in their critical, life changing, important and ever fresh, insults of the man and his work, lest they one day, turn such a critical eye on themselves. My question to them, is simply this, Life is precious; WTF are you doing with yours?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - A First Meeting and a Lasting Impression
Thank you too, Nablusoss. I love that Are you enjoying the ocean. On Friday, March 7, 2014 8:29 AM, nablusoss1008 no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote: Thanks Buck ! by James Powell The first time I met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was in Malibu, on the beach. It was a typical summer day in Southern California. Not much was happening. There was a south swell. From time to time a sun worshiper atop a towel would flip over, a seagull would sail off into the fog, or a large set of waves would come crashing in. As I recall, I stood on the beach with some of my surfing buddies. We were probably dressed in the surfer's uniform of the era: corduroy pants and white Penney's T-shirts covered by Pendeltons, not tucked in. Unlike most surfers on most beaches that day, however, we each held in our hands a bouquet of flowers. Suddenly cars arrived. Doors were flung open. A cameraman emerged, and next some guys in suits. A brown, sandaled foot from within the car could be seen feeling for the ground, and then—bearded and wearing a long, flowing, white dhoti—an Indian man stepped out onto the dirt road. He seemed enveloped in a nimbus of such serenity and light that, seeing him, the effect was similar to what one feels deep in a canyon before dawn, when suddenly the sun bursts over the rim. With the camera now trained on us-the surfer-boy extras in a documentary film—Maharishi approached, clearly enjoying the eternity in each step as he floated across the sand. As he drew near, something happened that I was not at all prepared for. My soul began to swoon. In place of the crashing of the waves, which now seemed far in the distance, was an immensely beautiful sea of silent consciousness. It was, to put it mildly, simply adorable. Lost in it, I could neither speak nor move. When Maharishi tugged on my flowers, I was unable to release my grip. He looked into my eyes, touched my hand, and my fingers opened. It would be impossible to forget the blithe beauty of those eyes. He looked into each of ours, playfully. After accepting our flowers he looked out to sea, and then, regarding us again and smiling like the happiest man on earth, he asked, Are you enjoying the ocean? Thus began my transcendental studies—lessons such as I had never known. The classroom was the heart; the assignment was to locate the point within where the soul loses its boundaries and becomes absorbed in something infinite. Typically, by the time Maharishi arrived at his seat in any of the countless lecture halls he spoke in around the world, he would be hugging to his chest hundreds of flowers accepted from students greeting him on his way in. And in each one of those exchanges was a moment as spiritually transforming as the one I had known on the beach. Yet Maharishi's aim was not to establish a personality cult. Each and every flower he accepted in each and every lecture hall he would place reverently before the image of his beloved teacher, Guru Dev, to whom he dedicated every instant of his life. And he tirelessly encouraged each of us to dive into the ocean of consciousness his Guru Dev embodied, by diving deep within our hearts during meditation. Maharishi, in speaking of his teacher, always emphasized that the events in a spiritually illumined life are not so important. What is important is the state of his or her enlightenment. So I will not list all Maharishi's many accomplishments throughout the world. Perhaps something of his level of presence can be felt through these few words. Maharishi visited Santa Barbara on several occasions because some of his dearest friends lived here: Walter and Rae Koch, the family of Tom and Susan Headley, and Arthur and Christina Granville. Over the past few decades, teachers at Santa Barbara's Transcendental Meditation center instructed more than 10,000 Santa Barbarans in meditation. In addition, Santa Barbara was at one time the home of the fledgling Maharishi International University, now located in Fairfield, Iowa. Are you enjoying the ocean? Although those were the first words I had ever heard him speak, through the years I realized that they contained his entire teaching. For Maharishi was absolutely certain of one fact: His soul was forever floating within an ocean of unbounded bliss. He was well aware that the state of life he was living was adorable, and that anyone could begin to live it. (The year of Maharishi's birth is unknown but is believed to have been between 1911 and 1918.) http://www.iowasource.com/maharishi/2012_04.html

Re: [FairfieldLife] Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - Separating Fact From Fiction
Is it possible for us to have a voice of reason amidst all this disputing? Paul Mason has created a wonderful website. One may not agree with him, but certainly he knows a lot. M. has always stuck me as a certain kind of creative genius. SCI is a masterpiece. But of course I understand he had quite a bit of help with that what was the name of that Michigan State education professor who along with Denise Denniston put it together? Point 1: Being a sexually chaste, unmarried male is a requirement to work in the ashram. If SBS was who we think he was, he would have kicked M. out. But instead Ms responsibilities only apparently grew. M. was a workaholic, just maybe? Point 2: There are many assistants to C.E.O.s who are, simply put, indispensable. Those people always joke about who really runs things. They have lots of influence. In corporate America they even get paid decently. But for one reason or another socio-economics or (in the past) gender theyre in the wrong caste to formally join the elite. Point 3: Ive said this before but without Paul there would be no Christianity and by implication no western civilization as we know it today. But once in person I heard the leading authority on Paul, Victor Paul Furnish* say that he wouldnt want to live next door to Saint Paul. Maybe Maharishi is like that a world-historical messenger chosen by the gods in spite (and/or because) of his utterly silly nature. Point 4: Do Ms methods work? After thirty-something years of practice (and this includes long stretches where I havent meditated), I must say it all works great for me. And I do think the ME is a powerful thing. But who really knows! *Victor Paul Furnish is University Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, and co-editor of Abingdon New Testament Commentaries.
