You seem to be conflating the oral recitation tradition of Vedic, which
was extremely early in time, with the appearance of traditional
Sanskrit, particularly of Panini.
You should know enough to recall that Rig Veda recitation goes back a
very long time and that the phonemes of Vedic go back eve

Bija mantra-s are the phonemes of oral, chanted Sanskrit.
Each of these phonemes has the appropriate anusvara added
to it (which if chanted like Brahmana-s do in the appropriate
manner) turns it into a bija-mantra. If you had the time/place
in the past to learn and chant the bija akshara-s of Sans

but there are no bija man
These posts are a hoot.
It's a mental midget's attempt to define
the "real" nature of mantra, Mahayana,
meditation, transcending, and "reality itself".
Gotta laugh at the hubris.

Yep, we can't be practicing correctly if we simply remem

Here is the large TM assertion recycled, that buddhistic practices necesarily
require 'strenuous practice' and therefore are no good. While they may in fact
require no more strenuous practice than TM'ers re-introducing their mantra to
their mind. This TM paper has a large assumption that is qu
