So, it has now been established by the informant that the Shankar is teaching the same meditation as the Yogi. And, it has been established that they are both Masters and from the same tradition.And, it has been established that the Sri Sri and the MMY are the recipients of the tradition.
This has been established by the TMO cookie baker, who never met either one of them. Go figure. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : Why is that odd?

Anyone know whose picture is used for that puja, Maharishi's or Guru Dev's?

From the internet I found that the Purusha Campus on Heavenly Mountain in Boone, NC was purchased by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living Foundation. They offer Pancha-Karma, yoga retreats, pranayama and even a meditation technique called Sahaj Samadhi. There is a video on YouTube in which Sri Sri does exactly the same Puja as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi did. This somehow seems to indicate that he still sees himself as belonging to the same tradition as Maharishi. Do you believe Sri Sri's Sahaj Samadhi technique is TM? Has any of you been on the campus on Heavenly Mountain and how did you experience it? To me it seems that the TM community living on Heavenly Mountain can be really happy to have such amazing neighbors. They don't eat meat, don't drink alcohol, practice meditation and thereby create some level of coherence not dissimilar from the Purusha group. It might not be a substitute, but still pretty awesome. Imagine a Christian or corporate group would have purchased the campus! They wouldn't really fit very well into the existing TM community. What do you think?
