Scholars? Do you think the Saraswati danadi sannyasins give a crap what
'scholars' have to say about their Shakti tradition?
The fact is, all the Saraswati dandi sannyasins ascribe the Ananda
Lahari to Pushpadanta and the Sounda to the Adi Shankara, a hymn of
praise to Saraswati. According to
Also, not all Dasanami monks meditate on the bijas of Saraswathi, not
twice a day, some do not meditate at all, and not all of TM mantras
are bijas of Saraswathi, only those of the student age. The first
mantras Maharishi taught in the west were in fact Ram mantras. Shree
is typical Lakshmi,
that's an interesting theory - I'd like to see the bird that has a call of Shri

Most all of the Saraswati dandi sannyayins meditate on the bija mantra
of Saraswati. This bija is enumerated in their scripture, the Sound Arya
Lahari. You get the bija from your guru when you get initiated into the
Saraswati dasanami. All the members of the Saraswati sect meditate on
this
So, it looks like Barry 2 is thinking the bija mantras have been around
for ages. Does that men he thinks the bijas are eternal and came into
the minds of the rishis spontaneously by the grace of Lord Shiva?
Or, did the bija mantras have a human origin and were passed down from
guru to chela
The origins of the bija mantras are lost in antiquity. You're making
up myths if you think SBS discovered them. I've referenced
Woodroffe's Garland of Letters which was published in 1922 as one
example. It's also believed he didn't write those books but were
written by an Indian friend of

mantra of Saraswati. It's the same bija mantra given
