So there's a lot of these, artificial things are going on, doesn't matter, as long as the man is getting something useful to make his life better, we are satisfied." Also, Farrokh has gone completely off the ranch (encouraging judges to teach TM probably not as taught by MMY), apparently, so the likelihood that he's going to come around to toe the TMO policy line is not high -- although, who knows, a personal appeal directly from MMY might help. But it's not important -- if it was, MMY would do it. All the current dysfunctionalization of the TMO outside of India is intentional -- only India counts from here on out, because only India can support the revival of Vedic civilization. ------------------------ Yahoo!
