Maharishi didn't praise Muktanada, you got that wrong. In fact Maharishi hardly said a word during the whole evening, commenting afterwards that he wanted Silence to speak, But he did bow down to him because Muktanada was a Brahmin, which did surprise a lot of people. Indeed it went very well, as you say, so well that Muktanada in his next newsletter wrote that the meeting with Maharishi was "the most important event of the world tour". ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <rick@...> wrote :

Mukthananda admitted that his most successfull students of SiddhaYoga were former TM'ers. This made him so curious that he eventually went to Seelisberg to meet with Maharishi. His speech in the grand lecturehall was one long praise of Maharishi who he said "takes care of the whole world, whereas I take care of only a few students" They praised each other pretty lavishly. John Gray and Billy Clayton invited Muk to go there, without checking with MMY. They were visiting him in S. Fallsburg. I think they got a bit of heat for it, but all turned out well. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <rick@... mailto:rick@...> wrote : From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com [mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of danfriedman2002 Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 4:10 PM To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: TM story from one of my students Rick,This is very nice of you to pass this along. I wonder...can you now come back to the practice as Maharishi offered it. You probably already know this but practicing one Teacher's mantra with a different Teacher's method, ain't going to work. In this case there is no synergy. Seems to be working splendidly for me. Best of all, Dan
