Rick, Ram, with short 'a' is indeed a fire-mantra and is in the center
of the Manipura chakra, which is not the second as Vaj says, but the
third chakra.

Of course he loves you and all the hardworking, honest
people who have contributed to his movement. It's difficult
to see that now, with the peculiar situation in the
movement, but it will be shown at some point

A lot of intelligent, well-educated Meditators inkl. TM-Teachers
build up the Movement in the West in the 60th and 70ths successfully,
for free, using a lot of spare-time and money. I know what they did,
because I was there. It is very sad if MMY do not appreciate what
they did.

very interesting point. This raises an ethical consideration: if one
thinks something is truly in everybody's best interest, as MMY and
followers thought/think about TM, is it OK to 'market' it, in other
words, simplify the message for mass appeal, therefore sacrificing
absolute disclosure for
The mantras we use are not bija
mantras.

The Point is: Tm teaches one how to be effortless. Because, it

TM is like diving; jump and the rest is taken care of. It's laws of
nature operating. Like gravity the result is inevitable; you fall into
transcendence.
More interestingly I find that these simple principles are being
