Material and spiritual well-being have improved significantly during this period. Me too. In fact I use a lot of mantras in my practice with OM in them. I was broke practicing TM and started being prosperous once I dropped it and used mantras with OM. Somebody should do a study on this. But I doubt if the TMO would. :) Yahoo!

I thought it was pretty hilarious no matter who was doing it. In fact, at first I was sure it was some kind of joke. Guess the joke's on me, though, cause it appears to be real.

There are OMs in some of the recordings of Vedic chanting that the TMO sells. I think the TMO's whole Anti-OM! Anti-OM! schtick is either a misunderstanding or just plain bollocks. I think it is something MMY made up to separate TM from other teachings. I'd love someone to prove me wrong though by pointing to some ancient text that says otherwise. However every Indian I've ever mentioned the OM thing to looked incredulous at me with wide eyes that anyone would teach mantras without OM. snip Yahoo!

Yes. Maharishi used to tell a story about a woman who complained to Guru Dev that since she had taken up spiritual pursuits everything had fallen away from her. Her husband had died, she had lost her money, etc. He inquired and discovered she had been using a mantra with OM in it i.e., a recluse mantra. Maharishi always said that recluse mantras had OM in them; householder mantras did not. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
