I did a work for sidhis trade instead, at a time before my current career materialized, so it was a good trade...As to any other money spent, I did a couple of residence courses, and bought a set of tapes and video tapes (total outlay ~$500). and that's it-- I still listen to the tapes and got a lot out of the rounding, so again, pretty good deal.
As to all the other stuff available, like advanced techniques, MMY honey, astrology consultations, vedic housing and music etc, etc, etc, don't want it, don't need it. ------------------------ Yahoo!
