Left the most lucrative business of selling ayerveda
products and selling albums? That doesn't make any
sense. That would be like Yogi Bhajan pulling out of
Yogi Tea.

So, the masters of ayerveda and the masters of Indian
music USED the Marshy for profit and gain. If so, that's

they liked the Marshy or not, that wouldn't have anything
to do with their music, would it?
