Anybody have short quotes from the TM movement about the value of group meditation? Doing TM in a group. Something from the old days of Maharishi in the time before the siddhis?
There are plenty enough of charts and pronouncement of a value for practicing the TM-Siddhis in a group. How about for pre-siddhis meditators and group meditation? It seems that some portion of the meditating community is not interested in practicing the TM-Siddhis, at least for that long as they do in the Domes now. Is there a value to just meditating in a group. Evidently Fred Travis has data that shows that there is a spiritual value related to proximity and numbers of meditators meditating. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Group meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism. —Paramahansa Yogananda in Seeking God Together ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : ..Group meditations strengthen the individuals. When you're in meditation with other devotees you don't know how much you help one another. It gives you strength. There is a vibration that is created that strengthens, and supports, and encourages each one. So when you sit to meditate just remember this. —Sri Daya Mata on the SRF tape Karma Yoga ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Group meetings to practice the techniques of meditation are vitally important. Group meetings strengthen the individual Self-realization that one has acquired in private at home. -Paramahansa Yogananda ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Group meditation helps to disperse the dark clouds of man's obliviousness to the Sun of All Life, that its warm, liberating rays may burst forth in his soul. -Self-Realization Fellowship in Meeting For Group Meditation
