AOLiving should stand tall on this, Damn the ISIS torpedoes, mobilize and get 
moving!   AOLving's speed on this should be full speed ahead for a group 
meditation there. A beach-head is already made there on the front lines to be 
re-enforced by a group such as Art of Living too.

 Art of Living is a huge vibrant movement.  They should use the power of their 
meditating numbers to move up to the front and help out with the collective 
meditation going on there.  They are organized enough they should go rent out 
other hotels there alongside the TM group,   Even join them.

 One author talks about 'prophetic charisma', on a different continuum than 
what we may see as narcissism, or narcissistic personality or disorders.
  
 Pure charisma thus is personal and is based on face-to-face contact and 
feelings of trust, duty, and love on the part of the followers (Schweitzer 
1984, 33). It is creative and revolutionary, for "in its pure form charisma . . 
. may be said to exist only in the process of originating" (Weber 1964, 364). 
At the other end of the continuum, routinized charisma describes what happens 
when a leader’s charisma is thinly dispersed throughout the followers who act 
in the leader’s name, typically after he has died. It may survive many 
generations and underlie a stable social order, but it is conservative and is 
not a force for social change (Miyahara 1983, 370).

[FairfieldLife] Re: Sri Sri on the Gayatri mantra

[he...@hotmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

 From the site
 

 Gayatri means to go beyond; to transcend the three gunas. That is why we pray 
(through the chant of the Gayatri) – Let this intellect be guided andinspired 
by something which is beyond the intellect the Divinity.

 

 IRL, gâyatrî (gaayatrii) is a feminine noun related to the masc/neuter noun 
 

 gAyatra m. n. song, verse, hymn; f. {I} N. of a metre & a cert. sacred verse.

 

 It's derived from the verbal root gai (to sing), the same root giita is 
derived from!
