I'll just add that I worked with Tom for about 2 years arranging the yagyas that he wanted performed. Before he started working with me, Tom was doing lots of yagyas in lots of places in India and always told me not to send him prasadam because he had too much of it as it was. It was my experience that he was dealing with deeply routed issues and was searching for answers. I'm no guru so I don't provide answers to people nor do I tell them what to do. I think that yagyas are a useful tool to accelerate one's evolution and are a great supplemtn to TM. I always thought Tom was spending more than was sensible, but that's what he wanted to do. It doesn't surprise me that he eventually got all pissed off and went someplace else. Frankly I was relieved. If these yagyas work for him great. But it is my opinion that yagyas, meditation and any spiritual practice only take you so far and then issues of character must be addressed before further progress is possible. Tom's character issues have been amply demonstrated in this forum, just do a search. As one who is deeply involved in yagyas and has seen them work wonders under the proper circumstances I can say that I take absolutely no offense at Dr. Pete's postings. I found them quite funny given the context of Tom P's past behavior. -Ben PS. With reference to another recent discussion here on FFL, I'll just mention that I have been involved in arranging yagyas for George Harrison and his family both before and after his passing. Before he died George was mostly into Yogananda and the usual plethora of spiritual practices typical of an Indian Brahmin in which his main guidance was Ravi Shankar. After his passing I have continued to arrange yagyas for his family and Dhani is an avid meditator, not to mention a very fine person. ------------------------ Yahoo!
