Well, I'm not going to get drawn into a big flame war, but what I had in mind was prompted by the following excerpt from a yagya participant:
<<Some more thoughts on the previous subject: (1) Specifically, why will a Lakshmi yagya not win the lottery for us? This is a serious question. Surely, Laksmhi, Ganesh and the other Gods are marvelous beings, full of Divine Love who want to help us. So, if they don't win the lottery for us, can't we deduce (just as an astronomer can deduce the existence of a planet or black hole that he can't see from the behavior of neighboring objects) the existence of some Divine Law(s) which constrains them. If so, what might this law be? Aren't we here on Earth to learn? In Ray Moody's book, Life after life, about the near death experience, when you do the review of your life with the Being of white light, 2 things that you got big points for were learning to love others and education. Hypothesis: you have to learn the lesson. They can't give you the winning lottery number because learning wouldn't occur.>> As for the rest of what Tom said, from my perspective it is far too uninteresting to dissect other than to say that I have learned that working with the 165 memebers of the yagya group is a very difficult task. Every day my respect and admiration for what Maharishi has accomplished only increases...even if the results are flawed or he has personal shortcomings. In the end all of us are trying to accomplish something good and positive in life. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo!
