(Incidentally, "Valmiki" is not just Indian, no private property here, the Maharishi belongs not just to India but to the world.) Mario responds: Now, now, Maharishi Faleiro, let's not get carried away here - after you were doing so well in defending your auspicious name:-)) Don't we all belong to the world? I always told my parents growing up that the saint's names were getting stale and boring and we needed more saints with names like Valmiki and Vinita and Vijay and Priya and Sapna and Santosh and Rajan and Samir and Sandeep, all legitimate candidates after Vatican II. I did my part by using three of these myself. We have a TRULY Catholic church where I live that has life sized tapestries of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. hung inside the church alongside several saints whose names we would all recognize. Jorge needs to wise up.
