I've had devotees of other paths including Ammachi's say they admire how TMers practice regularly. Apparently regularity isn't taught in other systems. In fact once my tantra guru said be sure to practice all the siddhis for Navaratri. I thought, huh, I practice all of them daily. On

As far as not taking many years to get there if you have the right technique, I think you need to add and if you are very close as well. Krishna says in the Gita only after many life times of this practice does one come to Me. I know, I know, M explains that away as equating life times with

Once you're established in yoga then you perform action. That means you might not need to meditate regularly anymore. The transcendent is with you all the time. Usually it does not take many years to get there if you have the right technique. On 08/06/2015 05:53 AM, dhamiltony...@yahoo.com

Right, well this is how most such groups, including of course the TMO, keep followers intact and funds flowing inward. Stigmatize any kind of straying from the core group. Personally speaking, retting rid of the overt influence of the TMO was one of the most freeing things I've ever done in
