A few hundred thousand people (according to the reports Icould find) is not 2.5 million.  SOunds like SSRS has taken a page from MMY's PR manual. Following is a pre-event announcement. 2 lakh = 200,000. This event has drawn international attention and over 2 lakh people are expected to take part in Mahakriya supervised by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.  http://www.newindpress.com/2006/artofliving/index.asp The Aol sites reports: Watching the crowds, crossing one million every day for 3 days,  (did any come for more than one day?) http://www.silverjubilee.org/index.htm Thanks, beautiful website for the event. Quite incredible. This is what I like to see in a worldwide movement! It sounds like it may have also been the largest mantra initiation in history: "Around 9.45 pm a pin drop silence descended as Sri Sri administered the meditation technique to the assembly." http://www.silverjubilee.org/day1.htm Wow--that is incredible. It seems clear to me after all this that M.'s earlier press conference remarks was most likely referring to SSRS, not independents. He was giving his blessing to SSRS...and boy did the disciple follow through! __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
