My experience and what Indian traditions have found down throughout the centuries. I used to check people who should not have learned TM. I took it that the teacher was so hard up for money they ignored the rules about teaching people with certain problems. I wound up checking some psychotics. The mantra shastra on this is that agni mantras are not for the public and yet they are taught in TM. And MMY started out teaching shanti mantras which ARE safe. But then so did every other guru. Guess he wanted to be different. The first technique is just a "warm up" since the second is a more traditional mantra though an agni mantra. Not to worry though. The TMO will have it's head in the clouds as the economy collapses and never adjust their prices. Hence no one except those with money to throw away will learn. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
