Prioritizing money spent. Which is better, spending millions on meditation-related activities, or spending millions on activities that everyone else spends hundreds of billions on? Sending a million to Katrina relief sounds great, but its less than 1/50,000th of what the US government is already spending. BAD use of limited resources to give more money to Katrina victims unless its in a way that no-one else is... Or unless you're trying to make a publicity point about how charitable you really are. > --------OriginalMessage--------- > From: "Premanand Paul Mason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2005 16:34:05 -0000 > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Satya Yug in India.?? > > It is ironic that the area most closely identified with the Shankaran traditions of India, the Land of the Gods, which encompasses the pilgrimage shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, and Joshimath (the locality of Jyotir Math monastery) is an area dangerously under-resourced when it comes to health support.

They carry collosal weight in India. They can influence their followers to change the unhealthy practise of burning plastic bags, and encourage free dispensaries and treatment centres for the disadvantaged. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
