Disclaimer - read this
first.
Provided for historical
and research purposes only. That means,
these mantras and other information about
these programs weren't placed here with the
intention that you should use them for "meditation,"
or use them for any other purpose whatsover.
In case it isn't already obvious to you, this
website is that of a critic who no longer
practices TM, and who is, depending on the
weather, indifferent to TM, critical of TM,
and openly laughing at the silliness of the
TM programs. (You wasted your money on this
crap? [Join
the club.]) And, yeah, every so often
I'm a bit angry at the fact that a tiny few
people have gained wealth and power through
the creation of this very elaborate, intricate,
complicated mountain of bullshit, through
which many people have wasted thousands of
dollars and many hours if not lifetimes. But
this website is done, it's been sitting here
mostly unchanged for almost ten years, and
frankly I now care very little about it, or
what you think of me or it.
The mantras and program details
were provided to me by former TM teachers
in the distant past. They are placed here
just to show that all they are, are a few
silly little syllables that are neither
unique to the meditator nor were they selected
by some elaborate secret method.
Now, if for some reason
the above is unclear to you, and you're
sitting there composing an e-mail to me
about these mantras that starts out "I read
the disclaimer but," well, don't. Go here and
read some snippets of previous e-mails I've
received, instead.

The TM technique
is simple
mental repetition of a "mantra" or word. The TM
movement claims that only specific "words" can
be used. They claim that the selection of words
is based upon a secret formula. Court documents
have shed some light on this "secret" process.
It is nothing other than a set of words given
out by age, and/or age and sex, depending on the
teacher training course the TM teacher attended.
The TM-Sidhi program
is nothing other than a set of sutras
(words or phrases), mentally repeated every fifteen
seconds after doing a twenty minute session of TM.
Each sutra is repeated twice, with a 15 second pause
in between each repetition.

TM-Sidhi Techniques
The names of the sutras used in
the TM-Sidhi program are:
Friendliness
Compassion
Happiness
Strength of an elephant
Bronchial tube
Inner light
Sun
Moon
Polestar
Trachea
Navel
Distinction between intellect and transcendence
Transcendence intuition
Transcendence finest hearing
Transcendence finest sight
Transcendence finest taste
Transcendence finest touch
Transcendence finest smell.
The "levitation" or "flying" technique,
now known as "Yogic Flying," is used in the same
way as all other sutras:
"Relationship of body and akasha
- lightness of cotton fiber."
This phrase is mentally repeated
every fifteen seconds after doing a twenty minute
session of TM. Each sutra is mentally repeated
twice (if time allows 4 times), with a 15 second
pause in between each repetition.
After doing the flying sutra for
5-30 minutes, the instruction is to rest for 10-30
minutes and then read the Hindu Scriptures for
5 minutes.
An example of the readings (from
the Ninth Mandala of Rig Veda):
Flow Soma, in a most sweet
and exhilarating stream, effused for Indra to
drink. The all-beholding destroyer of Rakshasas
has stepped upon his gold-smitten birthplace,
united with the wooden cask. Be the lavish giver
of wealth, most bounteous, the destroyer of enemies;
bestow on us the riches of the affluent. Come
with food to the sacrifice of the mighty gods,
and bring us strength and sustenance. To thee
we come, O dropping (Soma); for thee only is this
our worship day by day, our prayers are to thee,
none other.
