Are the purusha attending this course still accepted by the TMO as purusha, or are they former purusha? As I see it, there are 3 "legitimate" concerns here for the TMO. First, perhaps getting shaktipat/dishka from another person or tradition somehow connects you with that new tradition as well as TM and there might some sort of problem with that. Second, maybe the introduction of shaktipat in the midst of TM's delineated unfoldment of evolution is not in the person's best interest. Third, perhaps getting shaktipat is not such a great thing unless it is from a Master who knows you are truly ready for it. Kind of like working hard to activate kundalini by certain practices can be dangerous to health and sanity. Kundalini and shaktipat feel wonderful. Based on my experience, I think MMY gives this, but not so obviously. Probably Amma and SSRS too. As an aside, one of my children, while away from home and in college, was initiated into kriya yoga by a disciple of Yuketeswar (the other branch in Florida, not Yogananda's). My son had a fabulous experience which sounds like it was part of some sort of shaktipat with kundalini rising. But when, many hours later, the energy faded, he felt horrible, really bad and unstable. Someone might want to do some longer term followup on the people receiving the deeksha in this new program. ------------------------ Yahoo!
