I understand. Maybe on Purursha there were all these old timers who
have gone through a lot of stuff themselves. I found them to be a lot
more tolerant and not-cultlike than some of the new teachers in the
centers. For example P just came from the Phillipines, and most of
them had been out to see healers. It was nothing special to them.

I really had. I do not want to miss my Purusha time. It did so much
for me. Neither the time in Rhineweiler at the press, were I spent 7
yrs. I am a slow learner, but I really feel blessed my whole life. I
met so many good friends who helped me experiencial wise, many
dedicated people in the movement, some very independent very
independet thinking. I had one friend who had turned into a pundit, he
was virtually at a pundit school in India. He started to do everyday
in the morning doing several Rudra Abisheks. He would sometimes invite
us for participating in some yagyas.
