Right, he wasn't hard on the ears. It just got boring after you've heard him
say the same thing several times.

I always found him hard to listen to also, whether in person or on tape.
I spent almost four years at MIU as a full time student, not to mention SCI at
Livingston Manor as well as Forest Academies (which seemed like months long -
maybe they were, for all I remember) where we rounded and listened to tapes
including those Sama Veda things -chanting, if I recall and I had many, many
hours of listening to MMY. It's not that it was "hard" per se, just not
dynamically engaging and after you figured out the basic gist of what he had to
say for that particular lecture it was sort of like "okay, okay, I get it. Can
we move onto the next subject?" But part of listening to him was, perhaps, the
vibe or experience of hearing an enlightened man and he was not unpleasant, not
hard on the ears just a bit of a snoozer. He seemed like a gentle and nice
enough fellow but hardly engaging. You see, I guess I just wasn't cut out for
the monastic/spiritual bookworm/guru-adoring life; I think I pretty much
flunked out on that score.

Went to the Guru Purnima held by the local TM Center which was a pot luck event
at the vastu home of one our members. It was fun. About 30 people, mostly
older teachers but some younger members too. Came for the puja which is always
powerful in a Shakti sense. Boring video of MMY followed.
The local center has one of the newly minted teachers. Young guy about 30.
I'm not sure we even have a local TM center in Victoria. I've never bothered to
find out but pot lucks and socializing sounds good. I would have left before
the MMY tape came on, he always did put me to sleep, as did TM.
