Its not so black and white as far as I can see. I have seen a picture of MMY and his feet on a table near SSRS. He was a pundit around MMY for some years. MMY took him to AnandaMaya Ma and she said "he is the river that will wash the tears from millions". He came up with, recognized, his breathing and perhaps other techniques on his own. MMY was not so interested in the techniques, I heard, and SSRS went out on his own. (The story I heard is that a group of M pundit boys were told to go home. SSRS could not bear that and his father took them in, with SSRS. That was sort of the time / event that led to his departure from the TMO.) Some say SSRS AND MMY still talk. SSRS teaches a large bag of techniques and methods -- some traditional stuff, some new agey stuff, some surely of his own devising. For the most part they don't have a TMO imprint. SSRS was trained as a pundit independent of TMO, I think his father was a Pundit, and much of his stuff may have some from such "traditions". Regardless, I have found the bag of tricks as a whole to be useful regardless of "linneage". Partly due to him being a ball of light, in my eperience. And a bundle of laughter. He even started a Laughing Campaign where followers when to public parks and had "laugh-ins" -- laughing and inviting others to join. He is big on laughing (amonst other things, like seva) and is very funny to be around. Kind of a prankster at times. He even has an exercise where one stands in front of a group and is told to "make a fool of your self". I have seen him go -- "no, MORE foolish, you can do better than that!!!" The method being part of his "ego busting" repetorie of tricks. Amongst a number of other repetoires. I have not been involved with his org for a while. They have spawned all sorts of new things I see from newsletters. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
