Re: [FairfieldLife] Brahmananda Saraswati passes on his Jiva to Maharishi Mahesh
It doesn't bother me at all, being compared to a past ideal of perfection, that no longer exists. That is like being told we were once a race of giants, and feeling short the rest of my life. Good point, though, for overall perspective. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, LEnglish5@... wrote : I've heard something along those liens also, becuase, well, Maharishi couldn't possibly be getting old because he's 100.00...% enlightened, and enlightened people never grow old. As I said, lots of TMers, especially TM teachers, never really listened to MMY when he said thigns about how no-one is ever fully enlgihtened or that the state of world consciosuenss precludes anyone from become as enlightened as people were in the distant (Golden Age™) past and that therefore anything MMY ever said was necessarily limited and imperfect. It's sorta like the Christians who ignore Jesus' observation that everyone has fallen short of the Glory of God. There is none perfect -no, not one. They always add except Me because Jesus couldn't possibly have been saying that HE was imperfect... Other Christians justify the phrase by saying that once he was resurrected, he was automatically perfect, so there. I've heard TM teachers discuss how Gurudev was the reincarnation of John the Baptist while MMY was the reincarnation of Jesus. It's pretty remarkable, all the stuff people say to themselves to justify ceasing to think for themselves, no matter what.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Brahmananda Saraswati passes on his Jiva to Maharishi Mahesh
I've heard something along those liens also, becuase, well, Maharishi couldn't possibly be getting old because he's 100.00...% enlightened, and enlightened people never grow old. As I said, lots of TMers, especially TM teachers, never really listened to MMY when he said thigns about how no-one is ever fully enlgihtened or that the state of world consciosuenss precludes anyone from become as enlightened as people were in the distant (Golden Age™) past and that therefore anything MMY ever said was necessarily limited and imperfect. It's sorta like the Christians who ignore Jesus' observation that everyone has fallen short of the Glory of God. There is none perfect -no, not one. They always add except Me because Jesus couldn't possibly have been saying that HE was imperfect... Other Christians justify the phrase by saying that once he was resurrected, he was automatically perfect, so there. I've heard TM teachers discuss how Gurudev was the reincarnation of John the Baptist while MMY was the reincarnation of Jesus. It's pretty remarkable, all the stuff people say to themselves to justify ceasing to think for themselves, no matter what.

We’ll have to drop the Thuggee slant and substitute another more obscure, perhaps cannibalistic sect. Actually the thing that has this guy so worried, what David Sieveking said in David Wants to Fly, is actually touched on more deeply in the unpublished part of the interview with the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math. He states that Maheshiji deliberately created a situation that divided the Shankaracharya of the North into two by supporting and paying for a faux Shankaracharya. He states flat out Mahesh used a ‘divide and conquer’ strategy to further his own ends. Hopefully when the DVD is released the extras will include a subtitled version of the full interview, which is damning for the false history that the TMO has purposefully forwarded for decades and reveals Mahesh for who he truly was. On how the TM Sidhi Programme is not the path to enlightenment Whenever a man begins meditation there are many achievments that fill his path. However they only cause him distractions and he must stay vary of them because Yoga is not about these achievements but it is about a larger goal...it is about a more accomplished journey. It is not about flying. If you start thinking of these things then you will never find peace of mind or enlightenment. If a man is close to attain his goal God himself will put up some achievements [siddhis] in his path to serve as obstacles. Man himself in the form of the respect that the yogi will receive from his fellow beings, causing him to be distracted and inflate his ego. People will start worshipping him; His fame will spread far and wide and whatever he wishes in his heart will come true.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Brahmananda Saraswati passes on his Jiva to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Decades ago I heard that a master tricks the ego into getting onto a spiritual path. I know for me it was Maharishi saying that I'd fulfill all my desires that got me hooked. Now I'm grateful that I got hooked. Even tho all my desires have not been fulfilled. And a bit ashamed to admit that I've never been that interested in enlightenment. Just fulfilling those dang desires. Girls just wanna have fun, dontcha know (-: I guess what I'd say I know is that Life's unfathomable. Grace especially so. I'm grateful for the grace that allows me to rest in that. Not all the time, mind you. But more and more. Warning: woowoo below: Oh something else I heard is that when a person gets onto a spiritual path, the teacher of that path makes a contract with God to help that person get totally enlightened. I LOVE yogic flying. It's my favorite part of program. But I suspect that's because I have a more active physiology. Someone more kapha might naturally be more settled and enjoy the TM part mainly. I enjoy yogic flying for itself not because of some future result. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only long term sidha who feels this way. But as always, I could be wrong. Here's a personal belief FWIW: anyone past the age of 50 who doesn't think they're a little self deluded is probably a lot self deluded. It comes with the territory. And with having a wiley old ego (-: From: Vaj vajradh...@earthlink.net To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2012 8:28 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Brahmananda Saraswati passes on his Jiva to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi On Jun 29, 2012, at 3:58 PM, Bhairitu wrote: Sounds like an Indiana Jones scenario. Is Harrison Ford available? I know. We’ll have to drop the Thuggee slant and substitute another more obscure, perhaps cannibalistic sect. Actually the thing that has this guy so worried, what David Sieveking said in David Wants to Fly, is actually touched on more deeply in the unpublished part of the interview with the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math. He states that Maheshiji deliberately created a situation that divided the Shankaracharya of the North into two by supporting and paying for a faux Shankaracharya. He states flat out Mahesh used a ‘divide and conquer’ strategy to further his own ends. Hopefully when the DVD is released the extras will include a subtitled version of the full interview, which is damning for the false history that the TMO has purposefully forwarded for decades and reveals Mahesh for who he truly was. On how the TM Sidhi Programme is not the path to enlightenment Whenever a man begins meditation there are many achievments that fill his path. However they only cause him distractions and he must stay vary of them because Yoga is not about these achievements but it is about a larger goal...it is about a more accomplished journey. It is not about flying. If you start thinking of these things then you will never find peace of mind or enlightenment. If a man is close to attain his goal God himself will put up some achievements [siddhis] in his path to serve as obstacles. Man himself in the form of the respect that the yogi will receive from his fellow beings, causing him to be distracted and inflate his ego.

I’ll bet they’d resonate with your experiences, at least they made sense to me when I was still doing the flying sutra. :-)
