[FairfieldLife] Sri Aurobindo and the Indigo children
In his epic poem, Savitri, Sri Aurobindo vividly describes a new race of humanity emerging on Earth, as different from humans today as we have ever been to the evolutions that have preceded us: ...I saw them cross the twilight of an age, The sun-eyed children of a marvelous dawn, Great creators with wide brows of calm, The massive barrier-breakers of the world, Laborers in the quarries of the gods The architects of immortality. Into the fallen human sphere they came, Faces that wore the Immortal's glory still Bodies made beautiful by the spirit's light Carrying the Dionysian cup of joy, Lips chanting an unknown anthem of the soul, Feet echoing in the corridors of Time. High priests of wisdom, sweetness, might, and bliss; Discoverers of beauty's sunlit ways Their tread one day shall change the suffering earth And justify the light on Nature's face. (Savitri, pp. 3434) Sri Aurobindo seemed to indicate that a new genus or species is emerging among us. We have a ways to go before this will happen, however. He saw that there would have to be a transitional species before the true supramental species was able to enter the rarefied realms of a purified Earth. He saw that each successive generation would carry this evolutionary potential further, and that we would develop through the human human stage up to the overhuman stage before the supramental being could be anchored into the true physical realm of fourth dimensional matter.

[FairfieldLife] Death threats
During a trip to Scotland, New age guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar casually mentioned while speaking to Edinburgh-based Evening News that he had received death threats from Islamic and went on to gleefully say that it doesn't concern me at all. Islamic militants have put me on a hit list, he told the paper's bewildered reporter while beaming widely. -- This may explain the death threats... Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of the Art of Living Center recently said: In the Indian context, we have respect for all religions. Privilege for one religion above the other is not right. In our country the majority religion does not get facilities. Those people who go to the kumbh mela have to pay taxes whereas people are given a grant to go to Haj. These are disparities. That's why there is a sense of resentment in the majority community. This is only the beginning. As Sri Sri Ravi Shankar pointed out in the same interview: The minority community institutions are fully exempted from taxes whereas majority community institutions are not. In Karnataka, we have 40,000 temples. The income from these temples is Rs 40 crore. Only Rs 50 lakh is spent on the temples, the rest goes to the government. Whereas grants are given to the minority communities (to an extent of Rs 8 crore) while their income is only Rs 50 lakh. These disparities should go. Everybody should be treated equally. This means, in effect, money is being taken from temples and channeled to Muslim institutions like mosques and madrasas.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Off to See Punditji
.. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (Punditji)is well known in India and, increasingly, around the world as guru to the technology class. The guru has become hugely popular with India's urban elite and its growing community of technology graduates. These disciples say Sri Sri's approach to yogic breathing -- rhythmic breaths that flood the body with oxygen -- eases the intense pressures of their stress- filled, competitive vocations and helps them find meaning in life beyond their jobs. It's a perfect solution for a generation that is breaking away from centuries of religious and family tradition. Rather than following the Hindu doctrine of penance and renunciation intertwined with past and future incarnations, Art of Living tells its generally well-heeled adherents to guiltlessly enjoy whatever wealth they accumulate and to live for the moment -- while giving back to society and letting the guru concern himself with their troubles. It's a spiritual niche into which New Age, developing techies fit, says Rukmini Bhaya Nair, an Indian Institute of Technology professor who writes about the country's evolving tech culture. Some 4 million people are active devotees of Sri Sri's sudarshan kriya breathing, which the savvy guru says he discovered while meditating for 10 days in 1982. The 47-year-old ascetic is a hot commodity on the lecture circuit and has spoken at U.N. events and the World Economic Forum. Peacemakers are right here and everywhere -- within each one of us we can create that peace, the guru told world leaders gathered at Davos. Some 1 million of his followers live outside India. In the San Francisco Bay area, for example, the number of practicing devotees has grown to 3,000 from 2,000 a year ago. It hasn't hurt that corporations such as Oracle (ORCL ) Sun Microsystems, and Cisco Systems have hired Art of Living teachers to conduct six-day seminars at $150 a head. The knife of job loss is hanging over our heads. The fear leads people to join the courses, says Ravi Phatak, an Oracle engineer in San Francisco who runs Art of Living seminars. The epicenter of Sri Sri's movement, though, is Bangalore. At Sri Sri's headquarters complex and ashram, located on 60 acres of lush hillside south of the city center, the guru has a brand-new building for his satsangs, or evening devotionals. After sundown, as many as 3,000 followers gather in the great hall beneath a roof shaped like unfolding pink lotus petals with a glass dome at its center. If Sri Sri is in residence, he addresses his flock; when he's not in town, the congregation listens to tapes of him speaking. As the ceremony wears on, youthful devotees -- many of them with long hair and beards like their guru -- sway, sing, and chant into cordless microphones. Bangalore's legions of young engineers, struggling with the friction between India's traditional culture and their new role as players in a global industry, eat it up. Art of Living gatherings may look like a hippie nostalgia tour, but they're smart business. Bangalore tech consultants estimate that the group took in $10 million in revenues last year. Art of Living says it invests much of that money in giving free courses to prisoners in India, the U.S., and Europe, and for rural-development programs in India and South Africa. Sri Sri leads an apparently simple life, owning almost nothing, wearing Spartan white or saffron robes, and living in a one-room cottage in his ashram when he's not traveling to tend to his global flock. The son of a middle-class social worker, Sri Sri received a B.A. in science from a college in Bangalore. Upon graduation, he looked into a career at a Calcutta state-sector bank. Instead, Sri Sri became a disciple of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Indian who introduced Transcendental Meditation to the West in the 1960s. Soon, Sri Sri had risen to become manager of the guru's foreign operations -- where he learned a thing or two about networking and marketing. When Sri Sri struck out on his own, he knew just how to spread the word about his breathing program: through endorsements from socialites, fashion models, business leaders, and members of Parliament. His followers aggressively pitched the guru's message to corporations in India and, later, overseas. Art of Living is ancient wisdom made contemporary, says K.B. Seshadri, global sales director of iFlex Solutions, a Bangalore software house. There's no reading of scriptures. It's practical. It's also an opportunity to be included in a club where not just techies but India's rich, famous, and beautiful play, critics note. It's a far easier membership to acquire than the snobby Bangalore Club, the city's elite, ex-colonial country club, says tech consultant Chiranjit Banerjee. Sri Sri counters that Art of Living serves a far more important purpose than any social club. Every intelligent person has a spiritual quest, he said in response to e- mailed questions.
[FairfieldLife] Art of Fleeing
Art of Fleeing: Sri Sri disciples deny report Times of India/January 11, 2005 Kathmandu -- Disciples of Indian spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar have denied media reports that he left a south Indian coastal village in a hurry on receiving a tsunami alert. An official from the guru's Art of Living Foundation in Kathmandu described the media report misleading. In a report headlined Tsunami scare hits Sri Sri, French news agency AFP, which covered Ravi Shankar's visit last week to Akkrapattai, a tsunami hit fishing village in Tamil Nadu, had given a detailed account of the incident. It said Ravi Shankar, who was scheduled to conduct a healing session for the traumatised fishing community of the village, had his motorcade of luxury cars swing round swiftly and onlookers said he looked tense and was in a hurry to leave. The report was splashed on the front page of a local daily on Sunday. Mamta Kailkhura, coordinator of the communication bureau of the Art of Living Foundation, said, Neither did the false alarm scare the founder nor did he flee. In her letter, published in the daily on Tuesday, Kailkhura said the guru changed his plan about going to the village since most of the villagers had left following a false alarm about a second tsunami strike and the exodus made the road impossible to drive through. Hence Sri Sri decided to change the plan and meet hundreds of victims waiting for him in the nearby relief camps, she said. Over the last three days, Sri Sri, who cancelled some of his programmes in Europe to fly back to India, has been visiting several relief camps in Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu... He has been continuously visiting the victims... In fact, the local administration has welcomed the initiatives of the foundation to start a trauma relief cell to help the victims... The Art of Living Foundation has units in Nepal. Ravi Shankar had visited Nepal late last year at the invitation of Nepal Tourism Board, the nodal tourism agency in the country, to promote religious tourism and portray Nepal as a safe destination.

[FairfieldLife] Message to Governors and Sidhas
Message to Governors and Sidhas March 23, 2005 In the past three days the news has gone out from all the Rajas about Maharishi's plans to start the Movement anew with all full- time Governors and Citizens Sidhas who will establish the Movement in 2,400 locations in the U.S. and 3,000 locations worldwide and build Peace Palaces in each location. Once half of the funding is raised for a Peace Palace, the Raja Designate for that location will attend the Raja training course while the Peace Palace is being built. Raja Designates may be Governors, or if there is no Governor available, they may be Citizen Sidhas. Training Course for Recertification of Full-Time Governors to Begin Immediately. Maharishi made a grand announcement today of a one-week course to begin in about a week to train and recertify Governors who make a commitment to be full-time. This course will be held in as many as six locations in each Raja's domain. Each course location will be for 50 Governors who will be in-residence during the course. Maharishi will connect to the course every day. His lectures from this course will become a permanent part of the training of all Governors in the future. This course will be for men and for ladies who are experienced Governors and committed to be full-time. Teacher Training for Citizen Sidhas. Maharishi also announced plans today for a large Teacher Training course for Citizen Sidhas to become teachers. The course will be held in a number of locations in each Raja Domain. The course has a minimum age requirement: those who enroll must be 30 years of age or older. Below are answers to questions that have come in from Governors and Citizen Sidhas regarding Maharishi's message to them. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q. How will the Movement be different than in the past? A. The old system of teaching will stop. And in the future there will be a fresh, revitalized and more effective system of teaching. This old system of teaching, part-time and all that, will stop from the end of this month. A more enlightened, more integrated organization, and more effective teaching with some new elements in teaching will come up. Teaching will be with renewed knowledge, renewed policy. Q. All the Governors are thinking how to do it. A. They will ensure their life in enlightenment. Q. Many ladies who want to teach are hoping they will not be left out. A. Ladies will also teach full-time. We will have Peace Palaces for ladies. In the same way for men and for ladies. Q. The ladies wanted to know if they would also be able to undergo some form of training like Raja Training. A. They will have equal kind of training. We will design a good name for them. Not Rajas but something like that. Q. What is the special angle of the Governor Recertification Course? A. Because these are old Governors, they have to have a new angle. Maharishi will give them a new angle. It is a renewed field of knowledge for a renewed purpose. The renewed purpose will be invincibility of the nationto build up the connection between the individual advantage from Transcendental Meditation and collective consciousness. Q. Will there be subsequent courses? A. Many will like to come but may have forgotten. For them we will hold another course. But the first course we give to those who have been working. From now on the whole system of teaching will be different. Initiations will be in the center. We will give them a certificate. Q. Because of this desire of Maharishi for all the Governors to be full-time and not part-time and to take responsibility for Peace Palaces around the country, the question has come up from some of those living in Fairfield if they should stay in Fairfield to maintain Super Radiance or take these new positions in another city? A. Each must decide for himself. We cannot decide for them. They decide among themselves, where and what they want to do. From our side, we decide our policy that this is the new phase of teaching after 50 years. Q. Will a certificate be awarded to the Governors upon graduation for the Recertification course? A: Each initiator, for his renewed ability to teach from now on, will have a certificate. Q. Will there be any opportunity for part-time teaching? A. Those who want to teach they have to be full-time teachers. It is their choice. They have be full-time working in the Movement. If part-time, then no choice. Q. Does everyone have to decide this week. Can somebody decide later? A. Those who want to be full-time and could not come to this course, we will see how many there are after one or two months. We will give them a chance of renewed training. Maybe we call them for a month training. One week is for those who have been teaching and doing things. Those who have gone to other employment, maybe 2, 3 weeks. See how much they have forgotten. On that basis we will decide. Q. Will the Recertification Course be for ladies as well
[FairfieldLife] Re: In or out redux
Little knowledge, as they say, is dangerous, so is little informationironic Q. Many ladies who want to teach are hoping they will not be leftout. A. Ladies will also teach full-time. We will have Peace Palaces forladies. In the same way for men and for ladies. Q. The ladies wanted to know if they would also be able to undergo some form of training like Raja Training. A. They will have equal kind of training. We will design a good name for them. Not Rajas but something like that. Q. What is the special angle of the Governor Recertification Course? A. Because these are old Governors, they have to have a new angle. Maharishi will give them a new angle. It is a renewed field of knowledge for a renewed purpose. The renewed purpose will be invincibility of the nationto build up the connection between the individual advantage from Transcendental Meditation and collective consciousness. Q. Will the Recertification Course be for ladies as well as men? A: What we are considering is a revival of knowledge and system of teaching Transcendental Meditation. We are concentrating on teaching. In this consideration, this course could be attended by the ladies also. For revival of teaching we have to take them onto this level of satwa that has arisen in the world consciousness. From that level we are starting a fresh Movement. The purpose of the Movement will be invincibility to the nation. The purpose of the Movement so far has been enlightenment of the individual. And now to that enlightenment will be added a new phase of invincibility to the nation. And as teachers whosoever we engage in teaching, they will be full-timers, completely rigidly maintaining their own longer meditations and the system of teaching and lectures. So have the ladies come also in this. Ladies who want to be full-time all the time. Other ladies who have been teaching once a week, two hours a month at their amusement, all that will stop. This is the profession of the teacher of Transcendental Meditation. Q. If a couple is both teaching, do they both receive $2000 a month? A. Of course. Then she will take care of the ladies' organization in their city and he takes care of the men. And at home both will talk together and enjoy together. Both together the advantage is they will have undivided long morning and evening meditation. That is the advantage of both getting into this field. Setting up the life is the primary thing. Not based on monetary things. And we have in mind to increase their salaries as we see income coming on. Q. A couple who does not have children and husband works elsewhere would like the wife to work full-time. A. We tell the husband it is not that the wife is working full-time, 8 hours outside or inside. It is the long meditations of the wife.If he can stand the wife doing 3 hours of program in the morning and 3 hours of program in the afternoon, in addition to her teaching activities, then it is alright.In our principle, the success of activity belongs to the level of consciousness of the doer, of the actor, and the consciousness of the actor will be more integrated with three hours morning and evening. If that is not available, the success in action will be limited. That is why those whom we take, we take full-time, and full-time means they are everyday growing in the full awareness of their own consciousness. This is their life style. Q. Are there any special things the ladies should consider indeciding to take the Recertification Course and be full-time? A. They should think about their life style, whether they are a couple and whether it would be welcome to their companion at home and children at home. Those who are single, absolutely take thiscourse.

[FairfieldLife] Republicans Urinate on 216 Years of Federalism
News From The U.S. Election Reform Movement In Terry Schiavo Case, Republicans Urinate on 216 Years of Federalism, Usher in Era of Massive Government Meddling in the Affairs of the States An ADVOCATE EDITORIAL Employing extraordinary parliamentary procedures never before used for such a purpose, radical Republicans in the U.S. Congress have passed, in the dead of night, a bill which overrules the scientific, legal, and medical determinations of countless licensed physicians, state and federal judges (including the U.S. Supreme Court) and a small army of civilian witnesses in order to keep alive a Florida woman who has been in a persistent vegetative state--that is, scientifically brain-dead--for more than fifteen years. To understand the Terry Schiavo case, you must first understand that not a single Congressman who spoke on Schiavo's behalf on Sunday night gives one whit about the Florida woman or her family. People die under more tragic and contested circumstances every minute in the United States, and their unspoken and unheeded causes-- universal healthcare, an end to homelessness, federally-mandated heating for the elderly, more money for Medicaid, more money for Medicare, better prenatal care for the poor, greater federal investment in disease prevention and research--get not a single moment of airtime in the halls of Congress or on our living room television sets. No words or tears are spilled for them, or for their deaths. No woman has ever received more due process in the American legal system, or had more engines of power directed toward the investigation and rectifying of any wrongs ever committed against her, or had greater scrutiny of the moral, medical, ethical, and scientific determinations made on her behalf and in her name over the past fifteen years, than Terry Schiavo. Do not weep for Terry. Weep for a country in which the business of government is meddling in the life and times of a single brain-dead woman from Florida, rather than securing a better future for the almost three hundred million of us without such a built-in voting bloc--such unprecedented access to power-brokers and primetime darlings--as Schiavo has had these fifteen years. Jeb Bush wrote a law purely to save her (or his political career, no one was certain); members of Congress issued bogus, disingenuous subpoenas for her appearance before ad hoc sub-committee sessions as part of a massive, abusive-of-government stratagem to save her; and extraordinary remedies were sought in the legal system, even appeals to as august and nationally-minded a body as the U.S. Supreme Court, all in an effort to save this woman no more important, no more special, no more sacred than any of the rest of us--and make no mistake, many of the rest of us are suffering deeply, for a thousand different reasons this night--despite the fact that were Terry Schiavo able to speak (or to feel, or to think, or to dream) she undoubtedly would tell the whole ingratiating lot of aforementioned Republican meddlers to mind their own fucking business. So, she doesn't know anything about any of this. Because Terry Schiavo feels no pain. She feels no thirst. She feels no hunger. Her cerebral cortex has been, in the words of her doctors, liquidated. And after the Florida Supreme Court ruled several days ago that her orally-transmitted living will would be respected--that her pre- hospitalization wish not to be kept artificially alive should the opportunity to be so sustained ever present itself--and after the same Supreme Court ruled that the wishes of her long-suffering husband and guardian would likewise be respected, Ms. Schiavo's feeding tube was finally removed on Friday. A fact which Schiavo did not and could not appreciate. It was an event which heralded, of course, a slow death by dehydration for the Florida woman--which, likewise, she does not and could not possibly apprehend, and which she cannot and will not feel as it overtakes her. Terry Schiavo is brain-dead and has been for fifteen years. The morbid, disgusting, crass, and disingenuous videos released by Ms. Schiavo's parents--who, despite their daughter's clearly- articulated wishes, aim to pointlessly keep her alive, in her persistent vegetative state, for several more decades--present to the nation (and have already presented to Republican doctors, who've callously and unprofessionally diagnosed Schiavo from the videos) a woman who appears to be capable of receiving and processing external stimuli. These videos are a deception, as a bevy of court-ordered doctors and disinterested judicial bodies have already found. As if calling into question the veracity of reports on global warming wasn't enough--as if denying evidence of the failure of abstinence education wasn't enough--as if opposing the teaching of evolution in elementary schools wasn't enough--as if denying for decades that nicotine is a carcinogen

[FairfieldLife] Amma, Krishna and Jesus Christ
This is an excerpt of an interview Amma gave to the number one weekly magazine in India, The Week, in September 2003. Interview/Mata Amritanandamayi/My karma is to console By C. Sujit Chandra Kumar Your biography says you converted water to panchamritham (sweet dish). I don't think of it as a miracle. For me, peace of mind is the greatest miracle. What happened that day was, there was this Bhagavatha reading in a neighbour's house. While listening, I danced in ecstasy. Some people came and demanded that I show them a miracle. When they insisted, I asked them for a pot of water. That was distributed to everyone and they ate the panchamritham. Another time, someone took away the lamp. Those days, there was no electricity. Some devotees poured water in sea shells. I asked them to light it. It happened while the devotees were watching. They only did it. I haven't done anything myself. People say you have cured diseases. Why then did you build a hospital? Even if you remove the poison from body, if mind doesn't change, there is no use. Jesus Christ is said to have healed people. Why are his followers building hospitals? How did Krishna become Dhanwantara- murthy? Prayer and medicine are necessary. Tomorrow, I can also get unwell. Some local people still have doubts. How can we remove the doubts of everyone? When Krishna, Nabi and Rama came to this world, people had doubts. Is there anyone who has total acceptance? Do children fully accept their parents? Does one have full control of one's own mind? No. There will be two sides and that is the way it should be. Some have preconceived ideas. It is difficult to wake up those who are pretending to be asleep.
