I've been doing Sudarshan Kriya regularly along with
my TM/TM-sidhi program for 15 years now. I really
enjoy the technique. It pushes prana into your body
and purifies it. Some TMer's like it and some can't
stand it. What I like about the Art of Living
organization is  SSRS and the contact I've had with
him. It took me a while to let go around him because I
was so used to the formality of MMY and the TMO. But
he's the bee's knees!

Actually it's a great label. Quite the compliment from
MMY in guru speak. It was never clear what Dean's
beef was. My understanding was they thought SSRS was
stealing TM people to join his movement or taking
advantage of his former association with the TMO to
get members. None of this was or is true, of course.
SSRS wanted to teach Sudarshan Kriya within the TMO
and asked MMY if he could. MMY told him to go out on
his own to teach it. He didn't leave MMY for over a
year after MMY told him this.

   As noted, Shankar had broken with the TMO
  sometime not
   long prior to 1994, so the sweet poison warning
   would have had to have been issued at some point
  in
   between then and 1998.
   
   
   
   1993 at the DC course.
  
  Around that time, my friend Dean Draznin was
  appointed or volunteered to
  walk into a Ravi Shankar meeting in the DC area and
  read a prepared
  statement, written either by Maharishi or some TMO
  higher up (I can check
  with Dean if anyone really wants to know). That
  statement included the
  phrase that SSRS was offering people sugar-coated
  poison.
 
 I heard about this incident from Ronnie Newman, former
 TMer who was and still working for SSRS. She saw Dean
 and said hi and asked what he was doing there. When
 Dean tried to speak she told him not to. Dean was
 trying to be rude by calling SSRS, Mr. Shankar and
 denouncing his actions because he did not talk about
 his past association with the TMO. It was like when a
 Christian fundamentalist would show up at a TM intro
 lecture and speak with such great conviction about how
 they were right and you were wrong. The poor audience
 is usually left completely baffled by this display of
 spiritual arrogance.
 
 

Also shows poor taste, poor judgement, etc. Its a variation of street 
preaching, and door to door evangelism, which MMY always denounced as 
beneath the TMO.

Very sad.

Its also what the TMO and MAPI accused Andrew Skolnick of doing in 
their lawsuit against him. Beyond sad.

SSRS already teaches a meditation technique called
Sahja Samadhi Meditation. It's TM as taught in India
which is slightly different than the TM taught in the
US and europe. A puja is performed to Guru Dev just
like in TM. It is TM. This is what makes me doubt the
veracity of your friends report.

I have not learned it. SSRS tells TM people that if
they're satisfied with their TM they should continue
with that. It's like a TM advanced technique in terms
of where you think the mantra. If you have this
technique, you know what I'm talking about. SSRS seems
to put more attention on the Sidarshan Kriya than on
meditation.

Yes. SSRS is Brahman that is very sattvic and sweet.
You can have a very casual, open relationship with
him. Nothing is formal at all. But That infinite
consciousness will eat you up though. In my direct
experience with MMY and SSRS, their darshan is vast
and powerful...infinite Shiva. However, in my
experience, SSRS is much more personal and actually
knows you on the level of the personality. SSRS also
does very specific things for you if you ask him. It's
pretty amazing. SSRS has infinite respect and
gratitude towards MMY and always speaks highly of him
with great love and devotion in his voice. I've also
heard him tell some pretty funny ashram stories.

   There's lots of stuff about Shankar on
   alt.meditation.transcendental.  Do a search for
   Ravi Shankar rather than SSRS, though.
  
  Amma also cautions against intense forms of
  pranayama. Peter, have there
  been instances of people blowing their circuits out
  doing this?
 
 None that I've heard about. Maybe its the three cycles
 of long, medium and short that make it easier on the
 body. 
 
To classify Sudarshan Kriya as 'hyperventilation' is a
mischaracterisation. Is fast pranayam hyperventilation too?
