There is nothing wrong with feeling drowsiness in the afternoon Programme. Rather, one should analyse the kind of activity one had during the day to see if it had an influence on wakefullness later. Often also activities conducted the evening before is influential. Analyse your activities, improove behaviour and meditations will improove. Unfortunately your problem seems to be that you are mixing ideas, your drowsiness is a result of your inability to take instruction from your TM-teacher. Did you introduce some Buddhist "mantra" into your practise due to uninformed suggestions from the "Vaj" on FFL ? Stop this nonsense immediately, talk to your TM-teacher, and all will be well.
