I hope that I don't get too much crap for this, but I would never, under any circumstances, consider taking lessons in meditation from someone named, "rajeshananda" - It seems so pretentious.

Give me a spiritual teacher named Fred anytime.

Did you ever notice that all the 'spirit guides' that people were channeling back in the 80's and 90's were holy men? Why weren't there any wino spirit guides? Or redneck spirit guides? Didn't those guys die too? Or is there some special bureau that assigns spirit guides out to living folk wanting to get into channeling? Same one that hands out names like Babavishinedahu (who was born Symour Weinstein in the Bronx.)

I'm with you. Let's get Fred to teach us!

Look in a flower [1] !

Realize as you look into this flower, as you inhale the transient perfection in its scent, that this world revealed by the senses is a form of a dream, and, while you realize that, also realize : the awareness of that is another dream : keep repeating this : stepping up from one dream level, via awareness, into the dream level that contains the previous level (that formerly "was" reality) : until you reach the place where, in a pure emptiness of all dream[2] : a flower is only a flower, but is still beautiful; in fact more beautiful because it is no longer "a" flower, but "the" flower : a uniqueness that never "was," before; and, never "will be," again ... a uniqueness which is a unity of flower, awarenesses, you, the act of perception, and all of what your mortal human self experiences as time.

And, then ... realize : you just saved ... money. Yes ! Rejoice : let the belly laughter come forth; you now have money to go buy a beer, or soy milk, or whatever

[1] A banana tree flower was a favorite of Ur-Orang.

[2] The teachings of Ur-Orang refer to this state of "pure absorption in the pure emptiness of all dream outside of the "directionality" of time (what modern human physicists call the 'arrow of time')" as : "nababanana."

This movement has definitely been around for a while and fairly popular in alternative places like London UK, Boulder Colorado, Berkely California etc. I don't have any experience with it but have known other people who followed it and spoke well.

The founder was Gururaj Ananda who died a while back but his prime disciple was Rajesh Ananda who I think could still teaching etc. having been born in 1959

I suspect it might just be someone who has adopted his name but could be interesting if it's the original guru dude.

Having met a few heavy guru's over the years like the Dalai Lama and Yogi Bhajan it would be interesting to know if it's the leader guy. I am not much of a follower of religions and monks etc but there can be some powerful energy to experience. Probably quite a few non spriritual types here in CM have been blessed by a monk and felt something more than the urge to drink beer and chase bargirls. At least in theory anyway.

Would be interesting to hear how anti spiritual some of the regulars are out there. Okay I know Orang is out there in nirvana space but how about others.

I'm not sure what you mean by "anti spiritual", but I don't have much use for people who are just pretending to be spiritual and that seems to be pretty common around here.

All fine and nice; I had a guru once in 1972 when I lived in Kathmandu.
