Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: !Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam is Coming to Fairfield!
Can't help you with this one Buck and I admit to think it is more than silly to get upset or even question how people dress. Haven't you been abroad ? Do you get upset when you see an Egyptian or Indian dressed in robes ? Let people dress however they want and if someone has a problem with that they need to change their thinking and become more broadminded. A checking would help. You could organize mass checkings in your area and turn these silly prejudices completely around in a matter of weeks. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : This is all an interesting consideration about Transcendental Meditation.

No, he was not asked about that so did not get to that. Uptown that readily gets asked by meditators but it was not asked last night for him to comment on. Nobody spoke about that.

Perha's he's issued an _ex cathedra_ proclamation that robes and crowns are now optional for him when making public appearances. I know that I would be tempted to make such a proclamation, were I him. It also clears teh way for him to appear on Oprah, of course. One hopes taht he isn't planning on pulling a Chopra on Oprah when if does so and promote himself instead of TM and Maharishi Ayurveda.

To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, April 17, 2014, 5:11 PM The speech needs more breaks and pause written in to the text for delivery. Speech-writing. If I were writing the speech for Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam, CEO of all of TM, I'd reach out for George VI's speech to the UK given by radio broadcast on the eve of war with the Nazis: Text: In these grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in history, I send to every household of meditators, both at home in Fairfield and in the world, this message, spoken with the same depth of feeling for each one of you as if I were able to cross your threshold and speak to you myself. For this time in the lives of most of spiritual people, we are at war with an ignorance of anti-science, anti-spiritual, and meditation haters. Over and over again, we have tried to find a peaceful way out of the differences between ourselves and those who are now our enemies, but it has been in vain. We have been forced into a conflict, for which we are called, with our spiritual allies to meet the challenge of a principle which, if it were to prevail, would be fatal to any civilized and spiritual people in the world.It is a principle which permits people in the selfish pursuit of vile power to disregard inalienable treaties to humanity and solemn spiritual potential of birthright, which sanctions the use of force or threat of force against the sovereignty and independence of all spiritual happiness and given basic right of natural law as humans in the Unified Field.Such a principle of these apostate anti-science and anti-spiritual haters, stripped of all disguise, is surely the mere primitive doctrine that might is right, and if this principle were established throughout the world, the freedom of our own spiritual sovereignty and of all civil nations would be in danger.But far more than this, the peoples of the world would be kept in bondage of fear, ignorance and all hopes of settled peace and of the security of justice and liberty among nations and spiritual seekers, would be ended.This is the ultimate issue which confronts us. For the sake of all we ourselves hold dear, and of the world order and peace, it is unthinkable that we should refuse to meet the challenge as transcendentalists. It is to this high purpose that I now call all transcendentalists at home and transcendentalists across the seas who will make our cause their own.I ask them to meditate in transcendent calm and adamantine spiritual firmness of field effect be united in this time of trial.The task will be hard. There may be dark days ahead, and war can no longer be confined to the battlefield, but we can only do the right as we see the right, and reverently commit to our cause of the Unified Field. If one and all we keep resolutely faithful to our meditation, ready for whatever service or sacrifice it may demand, then with the Unified Field Transcendent help of science and prudent public policy, we shall prevail. May the Unified Field bless and keep us all with its Grace.Jai Guru Dev,M.A.R.
