Thanks. No problem. I have seen some Indians do as you say. But I am curious how universal it is. Thats all. I think the shanks are honored that way. And the Dali Lama who is viewed as an incarnation of Buddha (yes?) or at least a full incarnation of Buddhist wisdom (yes?). But at the time bal bramachari mahesh took on the titles of Maharishi and His Holiness, he was just a wandering bramachari. I was wondering how ommon it was to bestow such titles to such. ------------------------ Yahoo!
