The TMO claim to know what the effect of the yagyas are going to be and charge a fortune for them accordingly. They claim to have a level of knowledge of cause and effect that goes some way beyond everyone elses. > I'm surprised you don't understand the power of > positive thinking.

Selling prayers that don't work for large sums and using quantum physics as justification sounds like an pretty ethical problem to me.
