Greetings, Turquoise has pretty much hit it on the head. And to answer Cardemaister's and Dr. Pete's questions. I learned the TM technique in Des Moines, Iowa in 1971. SCI Humbolt 1972. Became a teacher in Zinal, Suisse after 6 months of rounding in 1974. After another 6 months of rounding in spring of 1976, I was called a Governor. (What a ruse) I took what was called a Siddhis course in early '78. Went on to the Rhode Island Project that same summer with 7 buddies from Iowa. And while I was in the field bringing in the corn the morning of Oct. 13th that year, I got a call asking if I could be in NYC that night to go somewhere on the World Peace Project. (No time to throw it on the grinding stone) I did make it to NYC that night and found this body in Costa Rica just a couple of days later and then ended up in Nicaraugua under Martial Law. Moved to DC in spring of '83 and was a twice a day participant at the "Senate" "super- radiance". I attended what was called Utopia that winter. Was one of the first group of teachers to perpetuate "Unified Field Theory" in the Philippines in the summer of '84. I moved to Fairfield May of 1985 where I was committed to twice a day in those filthy domes for 12 years. Attended the Noida "Pioneers" course in 1988. (I didn't tell them I had taken the Sterling Men's Weekend or Ali Najafi's SET courses.) I towed the line, or so they thought, in order to get what I thought was "perfect knowledge". Wonderful times and happy for the opportunities. Then in 1996 I was given a cd called "Inner Healing" by Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji and a picture of Lord Dattatreya. To make a long story short, the shifts that took place were beyond anything I'd ever dreamed, a beautiful wife, a beautifully magical place in the country, great friendships, and Sat Chit Ananda through this new music. I then gave it all up. Sold the farm, burned my badges, went on pilgrimages to Trinidad and India, and now live in Eugene, Oregon under the constant guidance of my Guru, to whom you may have become more familiar through this 18 day seva I have undertaken. It shows that there are 1032 members in this group. I find that maybe there are maybe 20-30 regular posters at best. What is that 2-3%? Granted many of the listed members may have lost interest and have not unsubscribed. It is evident that the regular participants here are dedicated to their stories and who am I to suggest otherwise? Lord Dattatreya has been mostly unknown in USA. It is to those that may be listening in the wings of this group, who are maybe feeling disillusioned, as I once was about Guru and the lack of such, that I address these posts. I choose to post the wisdom of Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji, who gives good advice about guru and gaining SatyaLoka. I don't presume to know anything but what He and the scriptures say. He is Ganapathi and Sat Chid Ananda. If one soul finds some resonance with anything that has been posted by me and sees some light in this darkness then I say Jaya Guru Deva Datta. I am not posting these pearls to discuss their viability or validity. The source of this knowledge is indisputable. This statement may raise some neck hairs, but more knowledgeable souls than what occupy this group have attempted such and found themselves prostrated at His feet. If anyone has taken the time to read the excerpts from His life it is easier to understand. The significance of what I have said should be obvious in the following links: http://www.dattapeetham.com/india/festivals/shivaratri2000/mar4mor.html http://www.dattapeetham.com/india/festivals/shivaratri2000/audio_video.html Not a hair singed. I am just an ignorant old man who realized his egoistic folly in this samsara. Hounded by those six dogs (enemies)-ARI SHADVARGA called KAMA, KRODHA, LOBHA, MOHA, MADA, MATSARYA ...lust, anger, greed, infatuation, pride, and jealousy, I have found refuge at the feet of that most compassionate One creating this leela. Datta's ways are mysterious and He provides many ways to reach His feet. It isn't that a seeker must do all of them. Truth, Love, Sacrifice are the means to gain His protection. He shows what to do. And Dr. Pete asks why I don't discuss what I post. No one has asked. All I can offer is my own experiences and it is not difficult to see what happens in this group when someone does that. The brutality that exists in the dialogues here is evident. I would rather pass as I am not smart enough to engage in this manner. What I post stands on its own. Would anyone visiting here consider this an "enlightened" discussion group? Such cruelty. After living in FF, and 30 some years involvement with TMO and then careful study and consideration of Scriptures Fairfield seems more like Lanka than Ayodyha. To Cardemaister: National level Vedic exams are conducted each year at this time at Dattapeetham in Mysore. Without diacriticals it's a difficult thing, with the transliterations of Sanskrit to English which raises your hackles. I don't know who you are, or what your credentials as a Sanskrit scholar are but Isn't it more important that the one who initially speaks them is perfected? You might be amazed to hear how these slokas, mantras, prayers flow from the One who helped Lord Brahma remember Veda when He forgot them. The great thing about this Kali Yuga is the technology that exists to flawlessly record and listen. Sri Swamiji has produced many cd's in order that there is no mistake in their pronunciation and that that those Bija's have maximum effect. The effect is wondrous. I will list cd's on another post. Tomorrow the 15th is Datta Jayanthi. I have a few more posts regarding that and I thank you for your indulgence. Then I will beg leave from this discussion group. I am very happy to talk about Dattatreya and His leela and If you Skype and wish to discuss, my handle is <hanumantah> In Datta Seva Hari Om Tat Sat Sri Guru Datta Hanuman ------------------------ Yahoo!
