I guess that's the new thing you learn on these raja courses - how to talk like that, like that. My favorite part is "They (ladies) will have equal kind of training. We will design a good name for them. Not Rajas but something like that." Reminds me of my old boss who always said he'd give me whatever title I wanted but my salary remained the same. --- In [email protected], rgjcm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Message to Governors and Sidhas > March 23, 2005 > In the past three days the news has gone out from all the Rajas > about Maharishi's plans to start the Movement anew with all full- > time Governors and Citizens Sidhas who will establish the Movement > in 2,400 locations in the U.S. and 3,000 locations worldwide and > build Peace Palaces in each location.
