Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Fwd: Dipavali Celebrations including the Maharishi Vedic Pandits
Never pass up an an opportunity to bash the TMO and the poor Hindu pandit boys! Something really hurtful must have happened to the informant MJ when he was working up there in food service. I mean, I still hate my high school math teacher, old man McCabe, but I don't carry that emotion around with me for twenty years after the fact. MJ and Barry have all the earmarks of misfits that got kicked out of the TMO, for one reason or another. Go figure.
