hi augustmoon...hehehe late 70s (HS) and early 80s (college) kc ako....di ko alam saan talaga.... ... nope, torpe ako (puro kaliwang paa) when in comes to dancing....puro sweet dance land alam ko....the music noon was "el bimbo" and "stars on 45". pero favorite ko iyan YMCA and rock lobster uso rin ang "denman" hair brush

I remember the Nivico, heheh.

 

However, we had an old Zenith which was shaped more like a furniture cabinet than a TV. The streeo / record player was an old RCA that turned into a suitcase type when not in use. The Tape recorder was a Philips portable one although we still had the old style Reel tapes. The tape player even had a Microphone with cable for use when recording anything. These days, wala ng mics.

I don't know if anybody can remember but during those times naglipana yung mga Ananda Marga buddhist types - I recall seeing a lot of these orange-robed and sandal-clad people going around - and bald at that. Bakit kaya nawala na ngayon. Also during that time nauso yung mga Transcendental Meditation thingies also nagpunta pa dito yung mga foreigners who were advocating this Unified Field Theory or something. Also I used to get mystified when I saw all these stickers everywhere with the words I FOUND IT....

if I'm not mistaken it was about finding Jesus - you know the Born-Again movement :hypocritesmiley:

Yes, pareng Bods. "I found it" was a Born-Again campaign.

I don't think Ananda Marga is Buddhist. In their website, there's no mention of Buddha, which would be basic to Buddhists. I think it's Hindu (someone correct me here, please). My eldest brother belongs to a Hindu sect, even if he was born in New York and grew up in Quezon City (and graduated from UP). Sometimes it seems that Hindus have more divisions (aka sects) than Christians.

 

The Ananda Marga really became known to Filipinos during the Karpov-Korchnoi chess championship showdown in Baguio. TM, on the other hand, was made famous by the Beatles. The downside of TM was that you had to consult a guru to get your own personal mantra. As for that Unified Field theory, well....

 

And I do remember those orange-robed bald fellows. I still see some of them from time to time. I believe they're Hari Krishna, but I could be wrong. In any case, they look so happy.

Good thing I don't wear an orange robe! :boo: Well, I guess happiness is a state of mind and being. Rise against all adversities. Live and enjoy life in the service and glory of a Higher Being or State, some call God, others Allah, Nirvana, etc.

By the way, I used to see those orange-robed bald fellows quite often in the Assandas area in Cubao. And they didn't just walk. They danced and sang as they made their way along the sidewalk. Just watching them reminded me of George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord."

Hindi ba MAHARISHI ang ibang tawag dun or hare khrishna? Kaya kapag naka-orange ka noon ay maharishi ang tawag sa iyo

[heavygatin_but_cutie]

[orionpax]
