My Maharishi: Enlightenment Through Devotion


Listen Later

In this episode, Thom discusses the Guru Parampara, the Holy Tradition of Masters that have been the custodians of the wisdom behind Vedic Meditation for centuries. 


He traces the lineage through notable figures such as Adi Guru Shankara and his disciples, especially Trotakacharya. 


Thom notes the similarities between the experiences of Trotakacharya and his own master, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, focusing on their devotion to their gurus and how their willingness to serve led to their enlightenment.
