Fair enough, it sounds plausible to me. I heard many a tale of impending doom if money wasn't raised for a yagya. I used to sit through them grinding my teeth as I saw it as a transparent money-making scheme at worst and superstitious codswallop at best. Might make a good scientific study to check how many dangers happened if the money wasn't raised. We might see how the predictive powers of jyotish combined with yagyas could save the world, I'll get onto Orme-Johnson about it. (This is another, not very good joke of mine, John) Maybe we should be charitable and assume MMY believed it all too. Hmm no, I'm not ready for that yet. > Thanks again for corresponding on this topic. > > J. >
