I am sorry, but the removal of TM from the mysticism and traditions of the past, is a GOOD thing. I agree that having more knowledgeable teachers would be helpful, though to say that the goals of humanity cannot be achieved solely with TM is completely false, an ego trip that has evolved from TM's simplicity. Some people are just never happy. :-) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote :
Well Pundit Bill, you're an expert on the Vedas so you should know. You should also then know that TM is just "a meditation for the masses." For that shanti mantras are generally given. And as you know Maharishi originally just gave a shanti mantra. Also in real systems instead of parrots you train people to be actual meditation teachers who give the mantra along with shaktipat. However Maharishi did not have the credentials to make those kind of teachers. On 09/26/2015 10:06 AM, emptybill@... mailto:emptybill@...
