Yes TurquoiseB, I would have to say A-um to that, for that is what happened. It
was quite a mystery. I mean, it was Maharishi's whole thing that TM did not
need any adjuncts, nothing extra to gain the benefits of any other system of
practice or philosophy. Then it was a whole turnabout and it wa

David,
Well, Guru Dev speaks of thorns as a means to distinguish the Acacia from the
Mango, and he refers to the practice of spreading thorns to keep away monkeys
from crops. Further, he uses the Hindi word for thorns - "kantak" - in a poetic
sense when he mentions that:-
"Thug log saadh vesh
'We forgive the thorns, and trust that they will wither without our attention.'
This is such a good example of the potential disconnect between the experience
of meditation and indoctrinated mumbo-jumbo that can sometimes associated with
it.

As far as I can gather Guru Dev seldom visited Jyotirmath, perhaps only twice
during his tenure as Shankaracharya. His main ashram was in Benares (it is
still there) & that ashram is dedicated to his guru and funded by a trust in
Dandi Swami Krishanand's name.

Apparently, in 1973 Maharishi sent Hans Bruncken to Calcutta 1973 to teach SCI.
But Hans found that the intelligencia there wanted to support communism and not
their own tradition knowledge.

that one can receive benefit from the enlightened, even after their
death, which to some extent accounts for his claim that he was guided
