Rick asked [[What makes these people "real" saints as opposed to "Mr. Shankar"?]] ** aside from being recognized as having spiritual traits, such as, but not limited to: all embracing compassion, love & wisdom, there is an organization, like the Vatican for example, that acknowledges & bestows the title of saint: the Holy Order of Shri Taponidhi Niranjani Akhada.
Ma Yoga Shakti (http://www.yogashakti.org/) was designated as "Shakti Tant Shiromani" & "Maha Mandaleshwar" & "Matri Acharya" by this spiritual order. om peace!.. rudrani To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
