Yes, thank you, I have and use Dr. Lad's book. Never heard of a tribal mantra before. VERY fascinating. Will google. When Deepak was teaching primordial sounds, I wonder if they were ayruvedic mantras.

The mantras I give out here are for ayurveda and occasionally a tribal mantra. They are not mantras given me to give out by my late tantra teacher. Those are done personally and not over the Internet. The ayurvedic ones are commonly known but obviously not published by MAPI though I may be wrong about that. Tribal mantras are commonly known in India and used for different things. And I may also mention commonly known planetary mantras. Most of these are quite safe an harmless and not secret at all. > > > PS Being a fan of Numb3rs, I like the idea that we might just be complex > numbers or fractals (-: > > > ________________________________ > From: Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Sunday, March 3, 2013 9:33 PM > Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Vedic Tradition? to noozguur > > > > On 03/03/2013 06:46 PM, Share Long wrote: >> Well I ate some salmon first, good protein to buffer the sugar uptake. >> Usually I don't eat fruit but I did enjoy the pineapple a lot.
