Re: [FairfieldLife] A yagya perspective

[Tom Pall]

This is a lesson Ben learned after many spent $20K or more while he gladly accepting "mail order".   This is in opposition to the Yagna-by-Choice people who didn't have a goal (I can produce the emails) of so many yagya hours per year, increasing month after month, year after year so Ben could retire to only administering Puja.net (I can produce the emails).   I will be happy to start a flame war if Ben wishes to start one.  His statement about "cosmic ordering service" was inflammatory in light of his and Seetharam's agenda (Seetharm's agenda was to score enough income from Puja.net maha sponsors to allow him to move back to India) and was directed at me.  Seetharm wants $200 (suddenly up from $150) a week to perform 2 hours a day of mantra japa.  It's not a very desperate life as a priest when one is making $1000 in a month in a country for 2 hours' work a night where that qualifies you for a princely life.  Ben only came up with the devotional part when suddenly his maha sponsorship fell apart and people stopped sponsoring yagyas.  Why did they stop sponsoring them? I was there.  I have all the emails.   Stop it now, Ben.  I didn't want to start it, but I've got the ammo to keep it going.   ----- Original Message ----- From: benjaminccollins To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 6:01 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] A yagya perspective. In the end, I have ended up in the same place that I started.  That is, yagyas are a form of service, a form of spiritual practice, a form of prayer, a means to personal evolution.  They are not some sort of cosmic ordering service..."I want money so here's a yagya, Lakshmi...kindly deliver!"  In fact that is the best way to make sure they don't work.  To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
