If you search the archives for 'dixit' you can read one guy's
experiences with Dixit and other Indian yagya vendors. But, you might
want to take those opinions with a wee grain of salt.

MAPI is a for-profit business owned by a non-profit foundation. It was 
explicitly set up as a 
fund-raiser to sell MAPI products at high prices in the US in order to fund 
research and other 
Maharishi Ayur-Veda related activities.

If you want to skip the middle man and avoid giving a bunch of money to the 
Maharishi 
Ayurveda Foundation, that's your business.

A friend of mine used to go to India every year and bring back Amrit. She paid 
$5 for both 
pills and nectar.

Selling over-priced maharishi products to the faithful works in S-Ved
where the profit margins are so high -- fairfielders pay about 50%
over market value for a house with the TMO seal of approval.  But in
health supplements the business would make more money for the
foundation if it were just run as a successful business, which
includes appropriate pricing strategies, in the total market.

Are Fairfielders abandoning non-vastu homes in any numbers?  Is is
causing a drop in prices for non-vastu homes?  What an interesting
component to a real estate market!  The Hong Kong market is totally
driven by Feng Shui.

Looks like vastu homes are still in demand here, though the new
construction is more concentrated in smaller homes.  The high priced
S-ved home market may be getting close to tapped out.

I think you are right.  I had a cerimony like this in my house back 
when I was into it all.  A pundit came and we have a big dung 
burning party to make sure the house wasn't over any old grave 
sites, to avoid the polltergeist effect!  He was a nice old guy and 
it was a nice party with TM friends helping throw in the dung and 
sing some whatever-namahs!  It was more entertaining than a kareoke 
dude and about the same price.

Don't I remember that several winters ago D.C. had
a whole two inches of snow, and it just about closed
the city down?  I was still living in NYC at the time,
and we all thought that was very funny.  They *really*
hooted up in Boston.  That was the way we got it from
the news, at any rate, but maybe they were
exaggerating.

You never had any poltergeists, did you, Curtis?

This made me laugh and reminded me of an experience I had here in FF 
back in '97.

I attended a Vedic ceremony at the site of what was to be the 
international headquarters of USA Global Link. Chris Hartnett 
purchased a big piece of land out in the center of one of the 
mandalas. (First left after you turn right off of airport road.) This 
piece of land is directly in front of the headquarters of the Global 
Country of World Peace mansion that was originally purchased for King 
Tony (remember that fundraising campaign?).

A contractor with a large backhoe dug a VERY DEEP hole into the mud. 
A tall ladder was placed down into the hole so that Holland Taylor 
and Larry Chroman could crawl down into the earth and place some gold-
painted bricks symbolizing something (I do not remember what) into 
the hole. A puja was performed in the back of Doug Greenfield's SUV 
and other items (no humans, ha, ha) were thrown into the hole. After 
the ceremony, the ladder was removed and the hole was filled in. Then 
we all enjoyed cookies and juice. You can still see where the 
foundation of the USA Global Link building sits, surrounded by weeds 
and an orange fence.

[FairfieldLife] Re: amrit from india?

2006-06-07 Thread benjaminccollins

You know, this is a great story because it illustrates just how wrong
people get the vedic yagya stuff.  The thinking seems to be "if I do
this yagya or puja, then this result will happen".  And of course it
doesn't.

The way it is supposed to work is that you do the puja or yagya and it
supplements your own efforts; removing obstacles and increasing your
power.  But  have to do the work.

The house purification yagya is called griha pravesham.  It is
actually a lot of fun because you make a fire place in the middle of
the house and then you do the fire yagya and chant all the mantras and
fill the house with smoke to purify it.  The smoke actually smells
really good because of the herb mixture (called havan samagri) and the
ghee.

That gets pretty funny here in LA when I help the priests with this
yagya in some Indian doctor's new huge house and the fire alarms go
off and the smoke is incredibly thick...

The yagya is typically for the 9 planets, Ganesha, and Lakshmi.  If
there are issues with "spirits" then you add in some Sudarshana
(Vishnu's weapon).  At the end, the water in the kalasha pot is
sprinkled in all the rooms to bless them and some of the ash from the
fire is mixed with ghee and a small dot is placed over the entry to
the house to provide protection.

Even fairly traditional Brahmin families make an effort to find a
house with good vastu, do the yagya and then forget about it and just
live their lives.  So there is really a perception that we TMers go a
bit overboard with all this.

Usually only if they suffer a financial setback, such as a divorce. Otherwise, SV homes are still being build, especially smaller ones and condos for the middle income folks. These are now beginning to replace the Utopia Park trailers.

Curtis,
I haven't noticed any groundswell of people moving to SV homes, there are plenty of meditators living in town who are perfectly happy with their homes, just as they were before all this started.  The ones buying or otherwise living in the SV houses seem to be either people who were living on campus before, and can't now due to the fact that many of the buildings are gone, or those who basically had their homes given to them, like I would imagine the Wynnes and some others have, and also a number who moved here within the last few years. Maybe someone else can provide more insights.

 Are Fairfielders abandoning non-vastu homes in any numbers? Is is
 causing a drop in prices for non-vastu homes? What an interesting
 component to a real estate market! The Hong Kong market is totally
 driven by Feng Shui.

It's definitely cold here, and maybe I expected too much from DC--but with it being a bit farther south and all, I thought the winters would be considerably warmer.  Maybe there wasn't as much wind, but the snow and cold were pretty similar, or so I thought at the time.

Thanks Sal.  We have both lived in both places so it is funny that 
we think of the Winters so differently.  I remember that wind 
cutting through me...Brr!

And about the rus-- don't worry, most of the fanatics have long

Curtis,
I haven't noticed any groundswell of people moving to SV homes,
there
are plenty of meditators living in town who are perfectly happy
with
their homes, just as they were before all this started.  The 
ones
buying or otherwise living in the SV houses seem to be either
people
who were living on campus before, and can't now due to the fact
that
many of the buildings are gone, or those who basically had their
homes
given to them, like I would imagine the Wynnes and some others
have,
and also a number who moved here within the last few years. 
Maybe
someone else can provide more insights.

  homes are still in demand here, though the newconstruction is more 
  concentrated in smaller homes. The high pricedS-ved home market may be 
  getting close to tapped out.

There are two S-Vedic buildings under construction at the 
Capitol in Navasota Texas. There was a corner stone laying ceremony done for 
each and there was nothing "vedic" about it other than they placed some gems and 
grains in a packet under the corner stones and every body expressed their desire 
for the success of the building. Seems that if they are going to advertise 
something is strictly "Vedic", there would have been a priest performing the 
yagya and reciting the appropriate mantras in the corner stone laying. But maybe 
this is just a set up for why these buildings need to be replaced and were not 
effective later on down the road. You Know M, "well begun is half done". This 
was not well begun, it was mood making.

Hainvg been away from the Fairfield and TM movement 
for a while it is quite amusing to hear people still talking about and 
believeing in all the vedic stuff. Umm - Santa Clause isn't real 
either.

  I think you are right. I had a cerimony like this in my house back when 
  I was into it all. A pundit came and we have a big dung burning party to 
  make sure the house wasn't over any old grave sites, to avoid the 
  polltergeist effect! He was a nice old guy and it was a nice party with TM 
  friends helping throw in the dung and sing some whatever-namahs! It was 
  more entertaining than a kareoke dude and about the same price.

What do you mean?  Those dung-burning parties work
*very* well at keeping away the poltergeists.

You never had any poltergeists, did you, Curtis?
