Poor people, with poor job prospects back in their home country, who will want to stay in the U.S. after their visa expires. The pundits' poverty is why they were denied entry -- it does not matter that they would be supported while they are here on their visas, legally -- the question is, how many would stay in the U.S. after their visas expire? Probably none, but that is not the point of view of State Dept screeners, who have to deal with the fact that nearly half of all visa holders overstay in the U.S. because there are economic opportunites here not available in their home countries. Besides, how many American pundit jobs will they be taking? __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

If TM were the full real deal you wouldn't need 2000 pundits from India. But God forbid that the average TM'er knows that the average Hindu knows. The pundits know a specific body of knowledge which is not taught to Americans when they learn TM, namely how to recite Vedic hymns in order to produce a desired influence in the environment, which is certainly not what the average Hindu knows, not any more than the average Hindu knows the skillset of a programmer in Bangalore. But this can and has been be learned by Americans. Why not teach this to Americans for free?

Circumstances of birth are not random or democratic -- they reflect one's activities in past lives and one's current level of awareness. I don't buy that at all. I know of two twin American girls who became quite fluent in vedic chanting. They amazed Indian pundits. On a more ordinary level of understanding, I learned in pursuing my Master's in Applied Linguistics that people who learn a new language after about the age of 15 never pronounce the new language as fluently as a learner who acquires language earlier in life. So it's not really possible to make Vedic pundits anywhere you like, even if you are ignorant about occupation based on karmic circumstances. I didn't find chanting Sanskrit all that difficult. After all you have a much less ambiguous alphabet to work with than with western alphabets.
