What a bunch of ninnies. The pundit project is scientific research in consciousness. Based on experience observation we got hypothesis and testing going on. Have some fucking patience for the scientific process. As an investment for peace then science and basic research can take a lot of money. Think what they spend on the engines of war.I feel it is highly worthwhile to see the pundit project through to its end. Damn you and this scurrilous FFL posting too as if it was any fact and newsworthy; all these deceiving anti-science folks and Geezer too for starting this thread too should be strung up by their you-know-whats. The lack of respect for professionalism here is appalling and so unfair. It pisses me off when posting on FFL has to descend to this level. The transcending meditative state: A unitive experience that is within the human ontology. It is awesome. The Unified Field. It should not be discounted that It is true. All we are saying is let's give Peace a chance, -U.S. Buck in the Dome More than 30 Indian publications in the US and abroad have retracted the wildly inaccurate article about the Vedic Pandits that they had picked up from a Chicago Indian weekly.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: More on missing pandits
I wonder why no one in the press questions the purpose of keeping these people in Iowa? The TMO don't seem very forthcoming in the article, are they embarrassed at importing people to pray for them? We know the "raja's" have yagya's performed for them on a daily basis to neutralise any negative planetary influences, as does the whole country - if they pay enough. The UK coughs up a lot for personal help from the gods too, I know people with a monthly direct debit to support this. No mention is made of when it will be decided to have been a failure, but then I don't remember there being any parameters for success set out other than Marshy's: Give me a billion dollars and I'll save the world... And quite why this has to be tax free considering the amount they charge TMers for the privilege of getting the gods to sway events in their favour is also beyond me. Maybe if the TMO cared about their welfare they would pay them to go to university and do something useful with their lives instead of sitting on their backsides all day singing songs so the wealthy can feel like they've got some of the age of enlightenment they were promised so long ago. But wait, maybe they are here as part of the TMOs commitment to science, think of what the knowledge of the existence of vedic gods would do to our understanding of the universe if the thorough and credible scientists at MUM had proof that chanting old poems could actually change the flow of world events! That must be it, I even had an admission from Fred Travis when he popped up on TM-Free agreeing with me that if a supposedly science based outfit like the TMO were going to claim veracity for all "products" they charge money for, they should at least do some research to make sure it actually works. Perhaps he took that to heart and is hard at work analysing world trends and will soon produce a stunning paper along the lines of "Praying to Soma: an interdisciplinary study of how ancient gods affect global consciousness and the 10 years of brutal war in the middle east since the yagya programme started". ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: that's not what it says you head in the sand ostritch On Thu, 2/13/14, dhamiltony2k5@... mailto:dhamiltony2k5@... mailto:dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote: Subject: [FairfieldLife] RE: More on missing pandits To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, February 13, 2014, 12:41 PM Yep, Damned Muck-Rakers.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: More on missing pandits
Sal, you are in rare form today! And just when I thought I couldn't learn anything more about the Movement, here you enlighten me! I had no idea the rajas had yagyas done for them. What a bunch of crap. It is one of those dichotomies that the TMO never address. What I mean is, if TM is as efficacious as is claimed and if you have the 10,000 times more powerful than TM program the TMSPs, why would you need anything else like yagyas and vastu veds? The TMO makes money off claiming they need donations for getting the pundits here and to Europe to cover their "expenses" and then the TMO gets money for the pundits doing all these yagyas for whoever. They are literally indentured servants at best. How much of the fees charged for the yagyas do the pundits get? None.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: More on missing pandits
Are you sure that "think" is the right word? The pundits have an average age of 26, according to the article we are discussing. But if they were underage I would be even more likely to talk about them. I find the idea of keeping a bunch of foreigners as pets in the hope of giving yourselves a better life to be astoundingly offensive. Not least because it doesn't actually work, as anyone who has thought objectively about it for at least a minute will be aware. The amount of people I know who have desperately given money in the hope of a turnaround in bad circumstances is beyond count. I know disabled people who have paid a fortune for these bullshit yagyas. I know someone I can't even talk about who gave his life savings in exchange for a few prayers that quite obviously did nothing. The list is endless, in one way we have to say that if God didn't want them sheared he would not have made them sheep. On the other hand I can't see a wrong without wanting to see it righted. Either prove that this superstitious crap works or let the pundits go home or earn some money in Fairfield or get them a degree that might mean something in the real world. What I think is that the whole thing is a scam and you should be ashamed for trying to shut down debate about it on a public forum. But you are right in that they are religious, but they claim to be scientific and that makes them fair game. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: On 2/13/2014 8:04 AM, salyavin808 wrote: > I wonder why no one in the press questions the purpose of keeping > these people in Iowa? > It would probably be in the best interests of the poor Hindu pandit boys if they were left alone to pray and get an education in Vedic City.

I agree totally - it might have some decency if they would do some sort of profit sharing with the pundits - but given the millions of dollars the TMO gets from the yagyas, and the pundits get maybe 50 bucks a month, and even that is apparently not given if the man who posted here recently is accurate.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: More on missing pandits
I had a girlfriend who suffered from monthly migraines (see if you can work that out) it was no laughing matter, it was 3-4 days in a dark room with a damp towel over her lovely little face, broke my heart it did. She paid a total of £40,000 on health yagyas to cure it. I asked why she didn't ask for a refund after the first one failed but got the usual "it works at a level I'm not aware of" or, "there's too much stress in collective consciousness" or "at least the money goes to the best possible place" or "we're in the wrong yuga" Usual stuff. This is part of the Marshy genius, he creates a worldview that makes your experience of consciousness the most powerful thing that's happening in the world, not only for your own development but in changing the world for the better in every possible way. And if it doesn't work, the philosophy contains within it the reason why it doesn't work and it's the same reason you feel so good in the first place - the mechanics of stress release. Something good is happening. I wish I'd thought of it. Bloody amazing. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: I know one initiator whose wife has a lot of health problems - he has paid the Movement thousands for health yagyas - ain't done shit. ---- On Thu, 2/13/14, salyavin808 mailto:no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: More on missing pandits To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, February 13, 2014, 8:27 PM You really are an utterly shameless apologist.

In India there are thousands of students attending MMY schools in India learning how to be pundits. From what I've read in the Indian press, the TMO is currently training thousands of pundits at Noida, at the Brahmastan of India and at numerous Maharishi Vidya Mandirs all over the Punjab and Goa. Apparently, MMY was one of the few people interested in establishing the ancient art of Sanskrit recitation. According to The Times of India, there are over 10,000 pundit students at Maharishi schools in India, all learning how to recite the Vedas, while at the same time learning a secular trade. It seems that MMY was almost single-handedly reviving the lost art of punditry in India. Go figure.

These men were given plane tickets back to India where they got jobs doing computer IT work in Kerala. There are no missing pundit boys in Vedic City. Go figure. FYI: A "pundit" in India must be able to recite the Vedas from memory in a prescribed ritual based on prescriptions laid down in the Samhita for the Agnihotra. Some pundits can also read, write, and understand Sanskrit and they are permitted to place the designation 'shastri' after their name. Some pundits also hold additional degrees such as M.A., Ph.D., etc. In addition, some pundits become priests or swamis, and lead millions of Hindus all over the world.

I never did want to talk about missing pundits, that was you diverting the topic by deliberately answering the wrong question to avoid having to deal with the uncomfortable facts.

The Fairfielders also get a smug sense of satisfaction that they are "doing all they can to save the world", the TMO makes a fortune and the pundits get to waste their lives for zilch.
