Is it necessary to meditate with the group?
Meditating as a group creates a more powerful spiritual vibration than
meditating alone. Amma has designed each session of the meditation
retreat to increase the spiritual benefits to each participant. She
asks that we all attend every meditation together, and not meditate
alone in our rooms. If you would like to start meditating before the
first session, you are welcome to come to the main meditation room and
start early. -Karunamayi

May 1965
Maharishi Concludes Five World Tours
"His Holiness returned to India on 20th March, 1965 after a successful
nine-month world tour.
..A special feature of this tour was the keen interest generated in
scientific circles in England, Germany and America, where scientists
are now conducting experiments to assess the effects of Deep Meditation.."

"An event of unique importance took place on the 28^th of March, at
Shankaracharya Nagar, Rishikesh. The saints and Mahatmas of
Uttarakhand assembled on the ground of the Academy of Meditation to
invoke the benign grace and the almighty power of the gods to right
the wrongs of today's world society."

The "collective meditation" of "Deep Meditation",
"In welcoming the saints and Mahatmas, Maharishi said that the world
today needed the intercession of the saints who are established n
themselves and are therefore, nearer to the almighty power. The
situation of the world now demanded of the people a powerful
invocation of the grace of gods to fill the atmosphere with peace and
purity. This, he said, can be effectively done by those who by long
practice of meditation and various spiritual disciplines, had gained
the privilege of being nearer to the seat of divine power and mercy.
The saints of Uttarakhand therefore were in duty-bound to intercede on
behalf of the people and invoke the grace of gods to alleviate human
suffering."

collective meditation was held for one hour. So soon as everyone had
taken their seats in the caves, the meditation started with a
recitation of Vedic hymns, and as everyone sank deep within, nature
herself was absorbed in silence. There was utter stillness for one
solid hour, at the end of which, the meditation was broken by a
recitation of vedic slokas. The saints who are accustomed to long
meditation felt the powerful intensity of today's collective
meditation. It was decided to continue collective meditation regularly
every Sunday until atmospheric tension abates.”

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.
