It looks like we reached the point where Judy won't even admit ownership of her own words. It just doesn't get much better than this! Go figure. So, let's look it up: In 30 years, I've never heard a TMer say anything about repeating the mantra when they are asleep, nor have I ever heard a TM

As most of us might well know, saMyama (saƱyama) consists of dhaaraNaa, dhyaanam and samaadhi(H). This seems to be Madhusuudana's definition(?) of dhaaraNaa hRt-puNDariikaadau (hRt-puNDariika+aadau) manasash-cira-kaala-sthaapanaM dhaaraNaa. My attempt at translation: mind's
