First, I am not a Christian, or anything else.
But to all reading, please be careful and research before doing TM.
There are many great meditations out there.
But TM, art of living, isha, etc....they are all Hindu-god cults. The mantras, when translated, give obeisance to various gods/goddesses.
I've had years of experience in these eastern guru groups. It's easy to ignore the warning signs, to self-delude, in the search of "enlightenment".
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34613724 The intent of this thread is all about enabling anyone to avoid those sorts groups, if they so choose.
On the other hand sometimes some of those groups do provide opportunities for deeper meditation if there are many people meditating together in an "adequate" manner, if they have a silent abstract meditation procedure (few do).
If one wished to participate in such a group however, I would only suggest that one put themselves more on the receiving end of the money and benefits chain, not on the paying end, and better to know the organization from within the control structure, rather than as one of the "sheep".
P.S., oh, and you may know more about this than me.
Please go back to the Transcendental Meditation Mantra list on page 2, and please tell me which gods those mantras represent.
