[FairfieldLife] Re: New recert stuff (if anybody still cares)
Your average meditator will not care one hoot about the recent changes in the structure of the TMO as it applies to what a Governor can or can no longer do. As long as they can hear a lecture, get instructed and get checked, their needs have been met.Only former Governors think this is a big deal. And with a few hundred new recert teachers, and with so few people caring to learn TM, these Recerts will have plenty of time to teach and check those that need it. In fact, since the Recerts need to initiate 2 people per month at full price, they may be very motivated. The first $4,000 paycheck is supposed to arrive at the end of May. Shall we guess when and if they arrive? Also, has anyone heard of a mall space anywhere that has been found and leased for the Enlightenment Centers? I hear that here on the East Coast, the rents are so high that the amount allotted by the TMO won't even get them into a tiny dump in a poorly trafficked, downscale location. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jyouells2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, George DeForest [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: .

[FairfieldLife] 2 Peace Palaces planned for Vedic City
Title: Good News on MVC Peace Palaces! - Original Message - From: Kathy Petersen To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2005 2:14 PM Subject: Good News on MVC Peace Palaces! Dear Friends and Neighbors in Maharishi Vedic City, We have recently completed the First Governor Recertification Course and are both feeling very honored and fortunate to have been assigned to Maharishi Vedic City for our Peace Palace city! We have great good news to share with you regarding the Peace Palace project for Maharishi Vedic City. Yesterday the Mayor of the city, His Highness Raja Wynne, donated the necessary land for the entire Peace Palace complex (about 9 acres). This kind and generous action on Raja Wynne's part ensures a permanent home for all aspects of Maharishi's Vedic Knowledge in our beloved city, for ourselves and for all generations to come. The land is located at the center of the city, just west of the Brahmasthan of the city, so that both the Men's and Ladies' Peace Palaces will face east towards the Brahmasthan and overlook that beautiful open space where Sat Yuga will descend in Maharishi Vedic City. We will get the exact parcel of land surveyed and staked in the next few days, so that everyone knows exactly where the Peace Palaces will rise up!! The Peace Palaces will house all of Maharishi's programs. Both the Men's and Ladies' Peace Palaces will offer all aspects of Maharishi's Total Knowledge--the Transcendental Meditation Program, the Advanced Techniques, the TM Sidhi Program, Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology, the Maharishi Jyotish Consultations and Yagya program (the yagyas will be performed in India), PK and M Spa treatments, MAPI products for sale, Maharishi Sthapatya Veda, yogic flying halls, Maharishi Vedic Organic restaurants, festival halls, and so forth. Everything that we need for our personal evolution and the well being of the whole world will be available to us in the Peace Palaces! In the perfect vastu of the Peace Palaces, Maharishi's Knowledge will be kept pure and complete for all suceeding generations of Maharishi Vedic City residents. These beautiful marble buildings will house the full glory of the perfection of Total Knowledge which has come to us from the Holy Tradition via Maharishi. At www.globalcountry.org you will find an overview of the Peace Palaces themselves (click where it says "3000 Peace Palaces"). The Peace Palaces shown on the webpage are not quite the final version, but will give everyone a very good idea of what is planned. In Maharishi Vedic City we will have the grand configuration of a tower in the center, flanked by a Men's and Ladies' Peace Palace, with many annexes at the rear which will house the clinics, flying halls, restaurants, etc. We know that all of you will be as excited as we are about this project!! The Peace Palaces will be the heart and soul of our city and of our Vedic way of life which we enjoy here in Maharishi Vedic City. We invite everyonetoparticipate in raising the moneyto build these palaces of knowledge. We hope that everyone will donate generously to the project!! Also, you may invest in the project either through buying World Peace Bonds (sold to "qualified investors" only), and through other interest-paying loans. The Global Country of World Peace will own the Peace Palaces, soany donation you make or money you loan will beto the Global Country. We will soon be opening temporary offices in the Central Bank building, which will serve us until we can construct our beautiful Peace Palaces. But until we have that office up and running, please feel free to contact us at our homes. We welcome everyone's participation as we work together to manifest the Peace Palaces. Having the land is such a beautiful and substancial first step!! With all warmest wishes to you in this 50th jubilee year of Maharishi's Movement.

Len / Kalipadma writes: A friend of mine (let's call her Carrie) is a big devotee of a Tamil Siddha who calls himself Baba Shri Siva. I've been a guest of Carrie's at public satsangs held by Shri Siva in New York -- they are expensive, I can't afford them, and Carrie can't treat me to them very often. Shri Siva has some power as a Guru, and his teachings are interesting, but he obviously is aiming for a following among America's money-ed Yuppies. I am a devotee of Ammachi of Kerala, and I've taken Carrie to have darshan of Ammachi as well. Carrie is not impressed; she says Ammachi is a nice lady who hugs people. Shri Siva, she says, chants in a way that raises her kundalini, and besides, his teachings are more valuable if they are expensive. (This makes me laugh.) I've never met the fellow. When former students of a guy I studied with started talking about him, I checked out his website and got an immediate hit on him that screamed, Charlatan. The experiences reported back to me by those who got involved with him for a while have tended to reinforce my initial reaction. The people I know would have been attracted to him for two reasons. First, he talks about money, and making money, a lot, and that was their mindset. Second, he seems to have a basic ability to broad- cast a (IMO) low-grade shakti that gets people temporarily high. For many people, including the people I knew, this equates to enlightenment. Recently, Carrie told me that devotees who paid hundreds of dollars to Shri Siva for private darshan have gotten special E-mail notices. A source of yantras and other Hindu religious devices is making limited editions of panch-loka murthies of Shri Siva, which the devotees can buy for lots of bucks. Carrie is considering buying one. It's far from as silly as these things get. Adi Da (aka Franklin Jones, Da Free John, whatever) once auctioned off several of his used Q-tips to devoted students for hundreds of dollars each. Gotcher enlightened earwax yet? :-) My question: Is this a usual procedure in Hinduism? I know that the ISKCON people sell statues of Swami Prabhupad for worship. I also believe the SYDA Yoga people make available statues of Swami Nityananda, suitable for performing puja upon. But Prabhupad and Nityananda have dropped their bodies.

And besides, she points out, Shri Siva is thin and distinguished-looking. She thinks Ammachi is fat and commonplace. I don't understand my friend Carrie at all. Comments? Sounds like a normal, everyday shakti junkie to me. It's a rush, in every sense of that word, and the operating principle for those who sell shakti highs seems to be the same as the drug pusher on the school playground, The first one's free. I've been there, done that with teachers who can do this, and while I agree that the experience is a rush, I am not convinced that it has any more last- ing value for a person's spiritual advancement than shooting up heroin. *And* it has a serious down side in that many of the people who have gotten hooked on the free ride they get from someone else's shakti often (*very* often) come to believe that it's the only way they can *get* high. They stop pursuing their own meditations, and come to rely on the regular hit of bliss they get when they see the teacher. I cannot help but believe that this is not quite the pathway to enlightenment.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Fw: [Shakti_Sadhana] Statues of Gurus Sri Siva
If you're attracted to a teacher go hang with them, practice their sadhana for a few years and see what happens. You can only know something by doing it. A spiritual pissing contest between who's guru is greater is absurd and is an endless mental arguement. I don't know anything about Baba Shri Shiva and I have no attraction to follow his teachings. He's not my alarm clock, but that doesn't mean he can't wake someone else up. I get hits off him, too, but what is my projection and what is reality is something I can't discriminate between right now. -Peter --- Llundrub [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: Len Rosenberg To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2005 1:23 AM Subject: [Shakti_Sadhana] Statues of Gurus A friend of mine (let's call her Carrie) is a big devotee of a Tamil Siddha who calls himself Baba Shri Siva.

But if I never get the interview, the conversation is impossible. http://www.us-webmasters.com/copywriting-Nancy-Berg/ EDUCATION: M.A. in Communication/Screenwriting, Stanford University, 1987 Stanford Mass Media Institute, film production, 1982 B.A., Interdisciplinary Studies, MIU, 1978, State University of New York at Purchase and Buffalo Thanks for posting this, Bob. I had seen it before but hadn't thought of it as a model for my own CV. Note that Nancy writes out SUNY's full name, but only initials MIU, and by her judicious use of commas and juxtaposition, allows a casual reader to infer that she got her degree from SUNY (at Purchase and Buffalo, where she only took a few courses -- her BA is from MIU). I would say the use of punctuation goes beyond judicious. It's incorrrect, and it's misleading. It suggests MIU is a division or department of SUNY. I'm reluctant to apply for jobs with a doctored résumé. It's a good way to get fired. Nancy isn't applying for salaried gigs, I don't imagine. She's getting projects and working as a contractor. She runs less risk to doctor her résumé. However, I only advise the above strategy for those who are deficient in or lacking in confidence in their creativity. Far from being a negative, having a MIU degree gives one the opportunity (there are never any problems in life, only opportunities) to exercise one's creativity. I thnk the creativity needs to be applied to the résumé; otherwise, interviews are rare for me. Granted, I have no Fortune 500 companies on my résumé, which doesn't help build the Patrick Gillam brand, either. It could be that having Maharishi on my résumé isn't as big a problem as the absence of big names in American business. Please note that I'm not regretting my choices. I'm mainly wondering how other people have managed it. - Patrick Gillam To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

We invite everyone to participate in raising the money to build these palaces of knowledge. We hope that everyone will donate generously to the project!! Also, you may invest in the project either through buying World Peace Bonds (sold to qualified investors only), and through other interest-paying loans. The Global Country of World Peace will own the Peace Palaces, so any donation you make or money you loan will be to the Global Country. We will soon be opening temporary offices in the Central Bank building, which will serve us until we can construct our beautiful Peace Palaces.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Résumé (was Re: New recert stuff)
I've never felt any discomfort with Maharishi International University on my CV. It usually sparks an interesting conversation. I tell them that I was very involved with Eastern spirituality when I was younger and that I still am, but not to the near fanatical extent that I used to be. They pick-up on your hesitation and embarrassment and wonder what your problem is with going to MIU. If you don't have a problem with it, why should they? -Peter --- Patrick Gillam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bob Brigante wrote I thought Nancy Berg's (daughter of Mad Magazine Dave Berg) workaround was a clever way to minimize the possibility of having to talk about MIU: I don't mind talking about MIU or MUM.

I wrote the book because I once foolishly promised him I would, and one keeps one's promises, even if the promisee is now cruising the Bardo or beyond. The book is on the Web because some folks I didn't really know, younger students of the same teacher, had put together a website talking about him, and asked me if they could post the book in HTML form.

I've worked at schools in LA where there were armed cops on patrol and a host of measures to keep violence down. If a murder happens in that environment, I would not advocate a principal being arrested, school officals are almost always doing as much as they can in an ugly and litigious setting. It was different at MUM when that student was murdered -- school mgmt had an opportunity to isolate the student after his first act of violence that day, a stabbing, More exaggeration. He was scratched badly with a pen. You turn it to stabbing , which anyone else reading this would think it was a knife to the stomache. Normally in the USA, school officials who are guilty of negligence are sued in civil courts This is not LA. This is not a high school. you are mixing up different things for your agenda. Your right, there may have been negligence, but I think they learned their lesson don't you? There are thousands of such instances which are let go because mature people don't really want to pursue something that was obviously an innocent lapse. Now you are calling the India school situation a 'murder' when it was reported in the paper as an 'accident' When do you stop exaggerating?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Cost of our programs, money, and the real goal
My friends, please read this again.--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Dean Goodman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] shempmcgurk at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I started in 1973, it was $35 in Canadian dollars, as I was a student. 30 years of meditating later, I can safely say that the cost of initiation would have been worth it had the price been $50,000. It's worth at least THAT MUCH to me today. The problem is: back when I started, I didn't know that. Dear Rick and Fairfield Lifers, When I started TM in 1970, I paid $75 to learn. It is estimated that prices for many things have almost doubled every decade. In 1970, gasoline cost .29/gallon; today it costs 1.69/gallon, an increase of 582%. In 1970, a new mid-sized Ford with a big engine cost $2500; today it costs $15,000, an increase of 600%. Applying that same percentage factor, $75 TM should cost $450 today, simply based on inflation. Today, TM costs $2500, about 5.55 times that $450. Like shempmcgurk, I too feel that I would have paid a huge amount had I known how effectively the TM program would have brought me back home to my goal. Please be careful in your assumptions here: I'm not talking based on some true belief or some faith in what the future might bring; I'm talking based on my own simple direct personal experience. The time/money/energy that I invested in the TM program was far and away the best investment I've ever made. It's made this life worthwhile. I appreciate that some of you don't feel that way - some feel disappointed, tricked, abused, misled - and I'm sincerely and deeply sorry that you've found yourself on a different road. And you probably couldn't have paid that, or $2500, even if you had known that. Even knowing as little as I did before I started, I came up with $75 - which is equivalent to $450 today. Back then, would I have come up with 5.55 times more (or $417) - which is the equivalent of $2500 today? After really letting myself get back into the feelings that I had back then, I say yes - I would have. Certainly because of the greater amount of money involved, I would have slowed down, thought more deeply about my decision, weighed it as more than the cheap lark that I saw it as, but as drawn as I was to have that inner stability and peace that I saw in the TM lecturer, I would have paid the $417. That was 5% of a year's income in 1970 - about 2.5 weeks' wages. It was 17% of the cost of a new car. In my life, a lot of income and a lot of cars have come and gone since then - and a lot of money's been foolishly spent on things that have disappeared or were a mistake to begin with - but what the TM program delivered me to, the Self, goes on forever. In fact, thinking back over those days when I was initiat- ed, I would actually have taken the 3-days checking and the regular practice of TM thereafter a lot more seriously if I hadn't thought that it was such a cheap bargain at $75. Today, based on what TM brought me, $2500 is a steal. But I am realis- tic, and I understand through direct personal experiences with friends and counseling clients over these past years that many people don't see that value at first, and that $2500 is a very significant, often daunt- ing, obstacle in some peoples' minds. It is daunting for me to tell people $2500, especially when I assume that they're not serious spir- itual seekers - but merely looking for some relative benefit (like re- ducing their stress level or improving their relationship or making school easier). So why does TM cost 5.55 times more today than it did back in 1970? And, as a corollary: is Maharishi a bumbling idiot about practical financial matters, or just overly greedy, or a brilliant seer of the future? I've thought back over many things I've heard from Maharishi over my years around him, and many things that I've recognized based on my own personal experience and understanding, and I'd like to share with you my take on the Movement and the $2500 TM course fees. This is my sub- jective opinion, seen through my history, colored by my consciousness and my issues; it is not presented as fact or truth. And since it is merely personal opinion, there is no need to engage in debate over the accuracy of my facts, because personal opinion is not based on fact. It's based on how our nervous system sees the world. We can all gather plenty of facts and/or quotes to bolster our opinion. This is simply offered as my world view - and perhaps you're a voyeur and would benefit from seeing the world through my eyes. I want to discuss the $2500 course fee on three levels (they get deeper as they progress, and all tie together, so please persevere): ANSWER #1 - THE SNOW PLOW EFFECT: My personal experience is that when I started to meditate in 1970, the going was tough.

I am not involved in the TM movement or any of Maharishi organizations in any way and have nothing to do with his teaching. In 1999, after getting married, I was basically kicked out of the movement. But I did nothing wrong. To the contrary, after meditating and doing the TM sidhi program many hours a day for twenty-five years and donating tens of millions of dollars, and working with Maharishi for almost ten years, in January and February of 1999, I got sick and almost died. Once I got well, in April, 1999, by my own choice I left Purusha and had never taken any kind of vow whatsoever. In June or July 1999, I decided to get married. For that I was kicked out of the movement. Thank God I was, for it prompted Earl and me to investigate Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the TM organization. We have spent a great deal of time, energy and money researching Maharishi and the TM organizations. Due to our findings I can no longer support or be associated with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, his ideas, his knowledge, or any of his organizations, in any way whatsoever. I am not writing this letter to share with you what I have learned about Maharishi and the TM movement because to you it would probably be unbelievable. But I will say what I have found out is shocking and because of what I have learned I feel very sorry for you. And I do want you to realize that I have learned that this Maharishi Vedic knowledge does not come from the long line of teachers of the holy tradition or any tradition. I know many of you are sold out and cannot believe anything or look at facts other than what fits into your belief system. I wish you the best and have great compassion for your plight because I was there too and it's not easy to get out of.

Dear Lupidus. I learned TM or Deep Meditation as a student in 1962, for 5 Dollars. Grateful for that, because I could not afford more. I am teaching Transcendental Meditation regularly to ordinary common people who really need the positive effect of the meditation. Some of them pay nothing, some a little and some max 480 Dollar. Most of the students are spiritual seekers, even if they are not always aware of it. During the course they start to think in another way and open the eyes for all the possibilities inside themselves. Behind the striving for daily living, everybody has a seed of spirituality, a wish for something more. The horrible prices in the TMO,turn the people away from Transcendental Meditation. If we really mean anything about Enlightenment and Heaven of Earth, we should teach as many as possible and not only rich people. I am tired of all that talking about Enlighenment. Instead all talking, do something about it, if you are a TM-Teacher - go out and teach.

Why is it that when cults fail that their leaders inevitably blame plots, conspiracies and the CIA for their failures? Probably because cults pander to an existing sense of elitism in the followers. What can enhance that elitism more than being persecuted? The more you're persecuted, or that your teacher is persecuted, the more elite you are.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Hate to say I told you so.
I originally posted it a few months before that repost or maybe a year. I couldn't find the original, but I did want the time stamp to show that what I felt then is being borne out now. Yes, Maharishi's emphasis on money was directly responsible for me awakening to the fact that the TMO was very fallable, wrongful, and temporary. I wanted a religion that I felt would still be around during my next life. No point wasting time building up beliefs that are just going to cease to have any effect the next moment. I saw Maharishi imploding, and still do. The only religion that I found which was geared to experience and not belief was Buddhism. That will be more true in a hundred years. The end is not yet here for the Movement. Rock bottom is very low and still a bit away. I still think that even more toxic things will come about regarding Maharishi and TMO, things that will finally show that Maharishi is actually insane. He will continue to show his true colors - greed, fascism, mysogyny, lust for power, duality, hatred. The irony is that what we thought was the "lovebomb" was actuallly just the plain old bomb. From my philosophy this is very easy to measure. To wit, in unity, it all already is God and perfect, it's only the eyes that need clearing from sleep to see it. No new world order is needed. The more a new world order is pushed the more dualistic the teacher must be. We're already quite ok, no new outfit is needed. I'll say it again, the more far out the scheme the further from truth the scheemer. No one on earth has been more far out than Maharishi including Hitler.

[FairfieldLife] Something I found Out
Addiction to bliss is not enlightenment. Everyday we come upon a million mistakes. To error is human. But many people who practice a "road of bliss" style meditation have real problems when encountering mistakes. I have just made many typos and then had to pause and fix them. I get sort of pissed because I can't type very well. Fixing mistakes takes me time and is distracting, but that doesn't mean the keyboard is wrong, or that I should throw the computer through the window. If I was very much more addicted to bliss then I would think that anything that stood in the way of experiencing bliss was evil. I would smash the computer as an instrument of it since it frustrateth me so. Maharishi developed too much bliss for his lack of training. It overpowered him, and at first he was able to be in tune with the vibe and spread it. And it was affective. And for many years the bliss carried him. Until near the end the strength of his physique has started to wane, and so has the bliss. And now he must fall back on his previous mind training for the source of his inspiration. It's easy to be good and convincing when you're in bliss because as any ritalin child can tell you, physical joy allows the mind to calm and focus. And yet Maharishi had no real mind training as a secretary to GD, and so not knowing what really to fall back upon (yama and niyama) he has reformulated the whole Hindu Veda as the key to his re-ascension to heaven. But the re-formulation of the entire world according to Vedic ideals will not bring him, or anyone closer to the truth that was Guru Dev. The real blazing light of compassion took almost Guru Dev's whole life in seclusion to develop. And no amount of vastu, yajna, jyotish or TM will create another Guru Dev, nor recreate that sense of warmth and bliss that Maharishi got around him. Not for him, and not for the world. You see, when mother's home then one is free to explore and not even be concerned about her being there, but when mother's gone then no amount of other objects or things can replace her. Guru Dev left an impression on Maharishi but that impression is wearing off. No amount now of pointing fingers and reckoning with the nightmare that loss of bliss brings will bring Guru Dev back for Maharishi nor make Guru Dev's bliss real for you or me. It's a bad mistake to think that bliss is the goal of life. One needs to learn to be stable in the midst of bliss and suffering, or one cannot be called enlightened. Enlightenment is the goal of life, not merely bliss. One needs to not feel stepped on every time they make a mistake and blame it on something else, but rather, come to realize that ones nature is itself ignorance. Ignorance recreating itself time and time again. With each rise of though new duality is born and more ignorance. Bliss should be the result of training in equanimity, not some autonomic physiological substance from a technique that anyone can experience. The reason is this. The bliss will prevent further moral and mental development and will lead to more war based on irrational faith in dualism due to the brains inability to not equate bliss with correctness. The feeling of bliss is the feeling of being correct, and if one experiences bliss even while acting like a demon then they will create ever more bad karma. Karma (yama and niyama) must be taught, or as said one is like a leaky vessel. Simply holding to the present without concept is the only state of reality free from opposites of bliss and frustration. And that takes more training than mere bliss meditation on samadhi. The path that Guru Dev took was not the path of TM, nor the path of bliss, but the path of renunciation. That is not able to be recreated for you, only you can create that. Maharishi was initially inspired, but the inspiration is waning, and now you and I are left with the husk of a man bereft of bliss, as well as meaningful philosophy of how to become enlightened. Many will argue and say, yeah right. But look, has the simple rule of thumb called karma ever even been discussed amongst the TMO? But surely what goes up must come down, and what comes together must fall apart. This is karma. The world exists to provekarma to us. This is why the world is the greatest education ground. Maharishi cannot change that by remaking the world. Life just doesn't work like that. May we all live and learn and not be addicted to bliss. Trust an addict to know addiction and how it feels to jones. There's no cure but learning to live without, and then one is stronger and wiser than before. Maharishi was at the source of the heroin in Guru Dev. But the heroin has run out finally and a long jones is to follow. If he had had the proper training then the jones would have been tolerated without pathetic fallacy (pathetic fallacy is a literary term which means to project the human drama upon something inanimate, for

[FairfieldLife] Teacher in England
WEll I am surprised MMY has not told the American to teach out of their country after all he once said Bush had holes in his head. That could be next. The whole thing is so nuts and will be just another failed crazy TMo stunt that is the sad thing. The course I am sure was blissful to those who went even though most who went went into debt but they most of them love it but the plan of execution of what they are suppose to do to revive the TMO is sooo off the wall makes you think MMY is senile for sure. Entertainment at its finest. More news. MMY just told the recertified teachers in England that they have to go out of the country now, to teach. No more teaching in England because Blair was elected!

You turn it to stabbing , which anyone else reading this would think it was a knife to the stomache. MUM was putting the guy on a plane home the next morning, so MUM officials were clearly aware that the guy was a danger to others (this so-called scratch required medical care -- stitches), Yes, it was not a stab to the stomache as you insinuated. All the newspapers that carried the story characterized the first attack by Sem as a stabbing -- if you want to re-write what I said, feel free to do so: http://tinyurl.com/avgg7 Within a month after I started working at MIU in December of 1974, a guy named Joe Lambert ran through the plate glass window next to the entrance door of the dining hall, and he was sent to the mental hospital in Mt. Pleasant, where many MIU/MUM students have ended up. , In what way would a kid grabbing another kid by the neck and whacking him, causing a fatal injury, be an accident? Maybe in your dimension, off-world... It happened everyday in the school I went to. No-one died though. I got hwaked way harder than this kid probably got whacked and I didn't die. I don;t call think those people who whaked me had any intention of killing me. Almost every kid got a beating from someone at one time or another in my school. Then, I got bigger and my friends got a reputation, so people left us alone. A teacher lost an eye once to student, and a couple of others went crazy. No-one carried guns, but every other concievable weapon was under some kids jacket at one time or other, including knives, axes, swords. One teacher once held a kid upside down out a window 4 stories up for causing trouble. The kid pissed his pants. People didn't mess witht that teacher. Of course, the kid in India did not intend to kill the student he was hitting, or at least it's likely that he did not form that specific intent. The whole point to what I had to say before was that school administrators were rightly arrested, because they ignored the pleas of students who were chronically having their lunches stolen, an intolerable situation that will eventually blossom into violence. MUM officials did not contain a known dangerous student who stabbed a student with a pen, and when he had the opportunity to stab another student with a better stabbing thing, courtesy of MUM mis-management, he did so -- that's negligence, just like the school officials at the school in India.

[FairfieldLife] IT pros and TM in India
http://tinyurl.com/7o9x8 SOUTHERN NEWS - TAMIL NADU May 9, 2005 Yoga is a way of life in stressed cyberworld Monday May 9 2005 09:41 IST CHENNAI: An ancient method to combat stress has become almost a way of life at the ultra-modern IT firms. Yoga and meditation are popular stress busters, especially among older software professionals, and many firms conduct workshops on these for their employees. Sudarshan, 31, has been working in a private firm at Tidel Park for the past four years. Stress, for him, begins right from the moment he leaves for the office at 7.30 am. Navigating through traffic snarls, he reaches office only by nine. Meetings and work on special projects follow soon after he walks into his spacious office. Lunch hours get converted into extended meetings and it's only by 9 p.m. that he reaches home, even though he is actually supposed to work only till 6 p.m. ``By the time I get home, my wife is done with her day's work and my one-year-old daughter is asleep. Stress is something I face even at a personal level,'' he bemoans. To seek some relief, he has taken to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's transcendental meditation technique. ``I find that concentrated meditation not only makes me focus more, but also relieves me of a lot of stress,'' says Sudharshan.
