I, too, see Maharishi's celebrations and sillinesses a symbological performances to elicit spiritual awakening. It's like the puja. I don't really think I'm offering food and drink to Guru Dev, but the symbolic performance seems to elicit a response in me. > Masons are builders of the Temple of Humanity.

Think what a kick it must have been to spend one's entire life building a cathedral, as was the case for so many masons in Medieval Europe. Surely, despite the difficulties, those men felt a strong sense of spiritual purpose along with the satisfactions that arise from tangible achievements. - Patrick Gillam ------------------------ Yahoo!
