Under whose authority would the SSRS be giving out any bija mantras? If
you can't reveal where MMY got the bijas, so how could you say SSRS got
any bijas? There aren't any bijas mentioned in the Vedas. From what I've
read, SSRS, like Deepak Chopra and Charlie Lutes, never became TM
teachers by completing a TTC. So, how would they be knowing any bijas?
Go figure.

So what would the problem be if "OM" wasn't included in a maha-mantra
but rather along with, say, a bija mantra like what TM uses? Did Sri
Sri give out bija mantras, or just the maha-mantras?
*SSRS does indeed give out bija-mantras for meditation. However, I was
never taught his sahaj-meditation technique so I did not receive one
of his chosen meditation bija-mantras.

*What I asked him for (asked four times over a 7 year period) was
"guru-mantra". When he finally gave it to me it was a maha-mantra that
"named" the source of our teaching lineage. If you consider the
guru-puja which is performed **at initiation **then you can guess
which mantra. I received it along with another one of SSRS's teachers
who often stayed at my house. According to that teacher, he also
received the same maha-mantra (it includes om).*
*I couldn't have asked for a better mantra. I use it after my
tm-mantra and before I perform sanyama on a few select sutras that
work especially well for me. *
*SSRS did tell me and that all the different bija-mantras naturally
merge into the om sound at the finest level.
*
*BTW - the sankhya-yoga scholar said the same ... no problem with
using om if sheltered in a longer mantra. *
