About a month ago, I asked if anyone knew how the TM folk pick their Mantras. 
My thanks to the handful of people who replied, either by EMAIL or NEWS.  The
remainder of this posting is a request for details about those replies and a
second appeal for pointers in the literature regarding Mantra selection (TM or
others).

Pat Thompson recommended Sahaja Yoga.  I have not been 
able to find any place in the Cleveland, Ohio area where it is 
practiced -- and all my EMAIL to Pat has bounced (so I would 
appreciate it if Pat or any other Sahaja enthusiasts 
could give me more information).  

Roger Adams suggested a book on meditation I could order 
through the Himilayan Institute of Yoga Science and
Pholosophy in PA.  No one has answered the Pittsburg number listed
[(412)682-7779] during the business day.  (Maybe the Institute has a day job.)
(If anyone has any information on the HIYSP or the book possibly by Pandit Arya
on meditation, please let me know.)

I close with the promised second appeal for information on Mantra selection.
I'll take anything serious: literature pointers, your personal experience with
a particular Mantra (how it was selected, how it affected you...), 
literature summaries (especially literature summaries).
