Richard, I disagree with you, I'm not attacking you, and I'm just agreeing to differ.
I think MMY should decide on which version of the Tantric mantras he wishes to use. Either the `M' endings or the `ng' endings. He should have each new initiate complete a detailed questionnaire under the supervision of a TM teacher to determine what energy is lacking in the individual. David Frawley, who helped Deepak Chopra develop his technique, uses this type of mantra selection criteria. The mantra or bija mantra would then be selected to suit the constitution of the individual as against giving the same mantra to each individual in an age group. - MMY even speaks about "Why the selection of a proper thought for a particular individual is a vital factor in the practice of Transcendental Meditation" In his book "Science of Being and Art of Living" see page 50 under the heading Importance of a Proper Thought Namaste, Billy --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Richard J.
