How can it calm vaata (vata), if vaata "consists" of aakaasha (akasha, ether)
and vaayu (vayu)?
Yep, it makes sense to use ram for it's calming effect because that verbal
root (dhaatu) means, amongst other stuff, to rest:
1 ram [...] , pp. {rate} (q.v.) tr. stop, fix, settle; [[-,]] gladden,
delight, enjoy (esp. carnally); intr. stop, rest, stay gladly with
rAma mf(%{A4})n.
• The Brazilian government decided that they’d
like to see TM as a part of the curriculum
in all 48,000 public schools in the country.
The only problem they have is that there are not enough

done. Thorough enough to set people up even for a lifetime of transcending
meditation. And then subsequently in life context along with

Use of a mantra, stance with or understanding of thoughts and such? Process?
The module of understandings as meditation is taught in TM?
Just wondering.

In practice,
Primarly Om is grounding but has an ether element to it. What yoga
(meditation) does is manipulate the autonomic nervous system. There are
mantras that calm the sympathetic system and even ones that stimulate.
For instance mantras for kapha imbalance are stimulating.
