Yeah, fascinating. Have you ever just taken on ambient karma for no good reason yourself? How about when breathing?

Muktanada's followers were chanting the Guru Gita & at some point Muktananda himself left while they continued chanting. MMY commented (& I don't know if this was while the other group was there or afterward) that did people notice the quality of their chanting was different when Muktananda was present? That Muktananda was taking their karma as they chanted .... so that sounds like the Aussie story. I actually wonder how they happened to BE in Seelisberg.
