Yeah, but...but...but what did Guru Dev actually *accomplish* with his life? Did he build the world's tallest building? Did he establish enlightenment boutiques in every shopping mall in America? Did he create Veda- land and have tens of thousands of people going there to enjoy it? Did he rebuild all of the improper buildings of the world in proper vastu configuration? Did he initiate a 600-billion- dollar effort to grow organic produce and feed the world and see it come to...uh...fruition? No, he did not. A little perspective, please. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
