I look at mantras scientifically as resonance patterns which have a
certain influence on the nervous system and hence the rest of the body.
They can particularly have an influence on the autonomic nervous
system. The spiritual explanations are pretty much to make things
understandable to simple non educated people. The whole Hindu pantheon
was invented for that. It's really just physics.

noozguru, well I would speculate that Shiva is sattvic and so might
help alleviate the tamasic quality of kapha imbalance.

Yes from an ayurvedic standpoint. One of the last questions I asked
my late tantra guru was about why would Shiva mantras be pacifying
for kapha? But he didn't know ayurveda and if he did would have
probably been able to sidestep his heart problem.

noozguru, you have said a few times that TM mantras are good for
pitta types. Maybe not so good for kapha or vata...

Not only that the people having these experiences are probably
wondering why others aren't. I have a friend who has been doing TM
for years but claims to have only transcended twice. Huh?

Bhairitu,
IMO, these experiences of "celestial beings" may be due to
hynogogia, a state of consciousness in between sleep and waking.
It would appear that meditation, for some people, may enhance or
extend hynogogia into the waking state. Thus, they appear to see
or hallucinate visions in conjunction with ordinary activities
during the day.
The folks I referred to in the interview see them all the time,
very clearly, in the waking state. Although since they’re in an
enlightened state, or whatever you’d like to call it, it’s not
really the waking state. It’s what Maharishi predicted in his
7-states model: refined, “celestial” perception. Subtle or
“celestial” beings are all around us, or in a parallel dimension.
Most people just can’t see them because their perception is not
sufficiently refined.
