First of all, we have all seen something about Pall's character. He's a self admidted racist (amply demonstrated) with a penchant for personal attacks and general immaturity. Is that my bias or just experience? Do a seach on his messages over the past year and you'll see. It isn't bias when I hold an individual to what most people would consider to be very fundamental standards of human behavior and attitude.
Secondly, he very clearly says that these people told him that he is almost through with the planetary yagyas that will clear our all his karmas. Really? So then I suppose in 6 months he will be a pleasant, non-racist, enjoyable person. I doubt it, but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised....forgive me if I don't hold my breath. To me this all demonstrates the profound danger of drawing a distinction between "spirituality" and "religion". At least religion sets moral and behavioral standards. As imperfect as religions may be, they give some guidance in this regard. As it is Tom can feel all "spiritual" and still turn a blind eye to suffering and wish for the complete destruction of New Orleans and all the people in it. Can you tell me for even a moment, that Lakshmi, the embodiment of the universal mother, the source of compassion, the provider for all, would want to spend a moment in the presence of someone like him? Go ahead...convince me. I'd love to read the logic. So he can pay for yagyas until the end of time. But until he addresses his personal issues, they are a waste of time and money and this group will manage to take a lot of it from him before he gets a clue. Which, by the way, seems to me to be a fitting punishment. The universe is nicely balanced that way. -Bob --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, akasha_108 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "bostonbob53" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > I looked at puja.net and at least they don't make stupid promises. > > And the YBC site makes stupid promises?
