There's a very good reason why Buddha prescribed a middle path! I did all that nonsense too on courses and on my own.

Maharishi didn't want to pay to heat the water. I think there was a power outage, perhaps due to construction, and probably his suite had an electric water heater, as I recall that the elevators weren’t working and people had to carry the buckets of water up many flights of stairs.

Same scenario in the Sonnenberg. I don't know why the hot water was out, but it was. At that time there was some bit about ice cold water being healthy for you in the morning. That was what was told to us after the fact of course. My cajones were up around my scalp! Maharishi prescribed cold baths on my six month course in Courcheval. He said he wanted to turn us into yogis in six months. People asked him whether they could get used to it by making the water colder by degrees, get in slowly, etc. Maharishi said to just be brave and plunge in. That mountain water was cold! OTOH, in Mallorca, when the hot water heater in Maharishi’s suite went down, he had water boiled in the kitchen and carried up in big pots. No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: February 11, 2008
I saw a cremation live in India and there comes a moment when the youngest male heir in the family who is old enough for the job takes a metal implement (installed for the purpose at the funeral pyre as a matter of routine) and crushes the skull of the deceased in the fire. Anyone see this happen and see who was the one designated for the job? Or is custom different when it comes to types like Marshy? - Original Message From: curtisdeltablues <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 8:45:27 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: February 11, 2008 > Speaking of the commentary.. ..why couldn't they shutup > at least for one second?

As soon as the pundit starts chanting the whole audience starts chatting away and ignoring the priest! One of my favorite babbles from him was when he would claim that there were no words to express...and then keep talking! It also reflects the reality of the crowd. Most Indians would not actually meditate but touching Maharishi's foot or getting the magical "darshon" at his cremation can draw a crowd. Aside from the incessant talking I really enjoyed how natural a public cremation seemed. It seems like one step more acceptance of death and I like it better than throwing someone in the ground. It seems more complete. I bailed around 2:30 Eastern time because I read it can burn for up to 6 hours! I guess in the end India was proud of its famous son. I think Maharishi would have loved the whole show. It was an amazing step in technology to be able to sit in my home and witness such an event. I appreciate that it was available as well as the viewing. I think the movement got this one right. --- In FairfieldLife@ yahoogroups. com, Peter wrote: > > > --- suziezuzie wrote: > > > --- In FairfieldLife@ yahoogroups. com, "suziezuzie" > > > > wrote: > > > > > > Any astrologers out there want to take a stab at > > the significance of > > > Feburary 11, 2008? > > > > > Heard the commentator for Live Indian TV say that > > there was a > > significance for this day, I think he said Jupiter > > and Venus in > > connection. > > Speaking of the commentary.. ..why couldn't they shutup > at least for one second?
