It is a creeper and it only has a few leaves which change with the phases of the moon. Balraj Maharishi is said to be able to communicate with the plant. -Vaj. ------------------     Vaj,   Yes, I have heard the same “magic creeper” rumors; it would appear to be the sum total of the body of modern knowledge concerning external soma, as recognized by most Vedic scholars.   Is it also your belief? Do you consider this magic creeper to be the last word on the identity of external Soma? Does it sound like the Soma that the Rig Veda seems to be describing? It doesn’t to me.   -Mark       To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
