Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: A theory of Karma, TMOers, and the TMO's "Persona"

do you (or, for that matter, does *anyone* here) actually believe that Patanjali's technique involved thinking "relationship of body and akasha...lightness of cotton fiber" in ANY language, much less English? It *astounds* me that people still believe that what Maharishi sold to them is what Patanjali had in mind.   ----That's all a question of whether one thinks MMY understood the technique.  However, recitation is often the way the Vedas were used and the sutra is as said. So it's not hard to assume that fixation of awareness on this thought can produce that benefit. In Sri Vidya however which is where the TM mantras come from, the sidhis are the Bhupura or outer walls of the mandala and not the inner truth at all.   MMY all comes down to whether one thinks the Vedas can be literally interpreted and used or whether they are more a dead art of the Dark Ages. Only those who consider themselves yogis are fit to judge.  __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
