It also reminds me of the gift that a former roommate of mine brought me from India. He was there on a TM TTC course, and brought back a bottle of -- no shit -- "Guru" brand beer. I kept it for years, and never opened it, because I always loved to imagine what its TV commercials would be like. Buncha gurus in their dhotis, trudge back to the cave after a long day preaching the dharma to the ignorant and undeserving, peel off the tops of their dhotis and sit around in their undershirts, drinking "Guru" beer and belching and enjoying the true rewards of enlightenment. :-)
