I dunno, Barry. Considering the crap Guru Dev's devotees were willing to sling at a fellow devotee (MMY poisoning GD & stealing amulet, etc.), I could see them perfectly capable of slinging crap at ex-devotees. It could be, though, that there is less guru hopping in India than in the western world. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.
