If you would like to give a friend the benefits of meditation, the best thing you could do is to teach them to meditate by giving them your own TM mantra, and teaching them how to meditate effortlessly with it. By doing this no puja is required as they are getting the mantra with Shakti from you. For any other mantra a puja is required. The other thing I wish to say is that once a person has a mantra; it should never be changed for the rest of their life! Jai Guru Dev, It is my understanding, and this could be a TMO scare tactic for all I know, that if you change the instructions on teaching, you become that person's guru and take on the responsibility for their karma, where as if you teach exactly as instructed, the originator of the instructions has that responsibility. Just a thought to consider. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
