I once had a business partner who always knew the most negative outcome for any thing we tried to do.   He thought his skepticim made him intelligent.   One day I asked him do you believe in this idea that thought is creative?  He said no because that made him as the term has been used an idiot.   I just looked at him.  I asked what do you gain in being right with any of these thoughts?   Answer:  Nothing.  SO do you think knowing this answer that does nothing for you makes you intelligent?  I explained I would prefer to be absolutely wrong if that was my thought.  
 
We are trained that sketicism is a sign of some of intelligence.  SO if I have a negative thought about something and it comes out to be true that makes me intelligent.  WRONG!
 
Sometimes it is best not to know and not to be right.   I pray that this experiment with Vedic Pundits is an absolute success.  Then I pray that more countries do the same.   If this could happen all over the world WOW! Maybe we will stop the killing in Iraq and other parts of the world.  Maybe Israel will realize that killing Palestinians is quite the same as was done to them in the past.  Maybe the united states will stop creating wars around the world.  Just maybe we can have a state of peace.  I hope so.

I never commented on the efficacy of such programs, merely on your claim that they are
not traditional.

I ask again: what is a mahayagya and... what is it FOR?

Hint to lurkers: google "mahayagya"
