MMY is world famous, as is TM. By mentioning that, it would give him credibility in some people's mind. But besides that, it is traditional in India to always ,at least mention your master. Look at how MMY always does that. It seems that there is an assumption among SSRS teachers that he has a positive relationship with MMY, but yet mothing official has ever been said. I think this could be a belief system among his followers (especially TM people who are with him), so they don't have to deal with the conflict of, what if he is, in fact, not approved of by MMY? > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > > > Do You Yahoo!? > > > Tired of spam?
