But it has some new age and hindu "baggage" -- a plus for some, a big minus for others. For example one is encouraged, expected, and/or subtly pressured to attend weekly meetings where everyone sings bajans (songs praising hindu gods). At such, and as part of the initial course, one is expected to engage in AOLisms -- hugging everyone in the room and saying "I belong to you", and other things along those lines. So there are no pure substitutes. Always some differentiation between products. ------------------------ Yahoo!
