I agree totally - it might have some decency if they would do some sort of
profit sharing with the pundits - but given the millions of dollars the TMO
gets from the yagyas, and the pundits get maybe 50 bucks a month, and even that
is apparently not given if the man who posted here recently is accurate. What
an unconscionable con this whole thing is.

Are you sure that "think" is the right
word? The pundits have an average age of 26, according to
the article we are discussing. But if they were underage I
would be even more likely to talk about them. I find the
idea of keeping a bunch of foreigners as pets in the hope of
giving yourselves a better life to be astoundingly
offensive.
Not least because it doesn't actually work,
as anyone who has thought objectively about it for at least
a minute will be aware. The amount of people I know who have
desperately given money in the hope of a turnaround in bad
circumstances is beyond count. I know disabled people who
have paid a fortune for these bullshit yagyas. I know
someone I can't even talk about who gave his life
savings in exchange for a few prayers that quite obviously
did nothing.
The list is endless, in one way we have to say
that if God didn't want them sheared he would not have
made them sheep. On the other hand I can't see a wrong
without wanting to see it righted. Either prove that this
superstitious crap works or let the pundits go home or earn
some money in Fairfield or get them a degree that might mean
something in the real world.
What I think is that the whole thing is a scam
and you should be ashamed for trying to shut down debate
about it on a public forum. But you are right in that they
are religious, but they claim to be scientific and that
makes them fair game.

It would probably be in the best
interests of the poor Hindu pandit boys
if they were left alone to pray and get an education in
Vedic City. Most
of us here probably think it would be better not to involve
the children
in a sordid FFL debate. There's nothing good going to
come from
discussing the private life of under age children on a
public forum. It
would probably be much better to just leave the children
alone and raise
our own - that's more appropriate and rewarding than
smearing some
religious group in Iowa. That's what I
think.
