Ahh a local reaction to a local event---now it makes more sense.."an inroad of matriarchal consciousness into patriarchal culture", so to speak(!) Sorry in my time and even now- I would just call a spide a spide... "Do not eat Mamma mias's Spaghetti" especially avoid Chilli and other Indian spices--no big deal [:D] Aren't there not enough former TM teacher and ex TM student/devotees around Mamma any more to give a "helping"hand? Remember >From the 80s on quite a lot of them -because of the lack of "emphaty in TMO"- went for a"hug" and more sadly .because of the (TMO) circumstances it was difficult to argue with them How about asking Amma to give up the title of "sainthood"---would that help----(there are so many other possible title around---BTW never wanted to be "my" mamma to be a Saint [:D] ) uuuhhhhhhhhhhh I was just helping another "Saint" delete delete delete But Vaj's point is certainly valid but IMHO no contradiction... >
