[FairfieldLife] Advanced Techniques
The late Brahmacharya Satyanand had been a disciple of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati for many years. He later worked with MMYto help bring TM to the world. In the late 60' and early 70's, Satyanand used to travel about giving out advanced techniques for the MMY - I got the night technique when on a residence course with Jerry Jarvis in 1968 at SIMS in Berkely. Later, in 1971, when I was passing through India, I visited Satyanand at his house in Rishikesh. [image: Inline image 1] Satyanand at Lake Arrowhead, 1967 Apparently, Satyanand passed away sometime in the 90's. He was one of my teachers - a real yogi and a siddha. I still practice the night technique I learned from him - if anyone wants to enjoy a good night's rest, sleep like a baby, arise feeling totally refreshed, without an alarm clock at a precise hour, the night technique is second-to-none. This technique is mentioned in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Satyanand Answers Questions Audio: http://youtu.be/XFGodIu25RQ

Mario: Various contributors have laid out the options for you, and you need to choose and stop complaining about the $$. That's the way it is. But you're making a big mistake sticking ONLY with TM. Get in sync with Ramana Maharshi. In the meantime, just preface your mantra with Sri. That's the advanced technique, as already stated by Willytex. Save your money. ...

[FairfieldLife] Advanced Techniques?
As I recall it (might well misremember...), my TM teacher said that the purpose of advanced techniques is to *slow down* transcending, so that one has more time to watch the scenery, to become more familiar with different levels of creation, or stuff.

MMY said they were like manure. :) What he meant is they were like fertilizer to the process of developing enlightenment. Of course I recall quite a laugh on that tape. However what they are really just more like the traditional mantra for Saraswati minus Om of course. These mantras, being longer, transcend slower. The deepen the experience by keeping you there longer. The first technique bijas tend to bob up and down in consciousness.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Advanced Techniques...
I learned all the TM advanced techniques. Most of them involve adding syllables to the mantra, the explanation being that these culture the heart, slow down the process of transcending so that you can become more familiar with the subtle relative, etc. The argument against getting them from a web site is that being initiated properly imbues the mantra with shakti, or power, which makes it more effective. I know people who got all the advanced techniques and now just do their original TM mantra. I use a mantra I got from Amma (Ammachi), which has about as many syllables as my TM mantra ended up having. She's got plenty of shakti. I guess I'm not really answering your question. I'm just giving you some explanations which might help you make your own decision. I do think that aside from whatever subtle benefits the additions to the mantra might have, the TMO sees advanced techniques as one of its cash cows. on 5/16/06 3:02 AM, stadspark at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is a question for anyone who has officially been instructed in at least two advanced techniques: So here's my question; If someone has been properly instructed in the TM technique, is there any reason that someone should consider paying $3000 for an adv. technique, if he could just as easily go to minet.org, and get his new technique for free (i.e simply update his mantr..)?? Unless, the technique requires special instruction (which I know for a fact is unecessary after having been insrtucted in one advanced technique) I see no reason ... Any thoughts, anyone?

And if so, does having pundits chant somehow do something for one who is not the divodasa of the rite?
