As to where your US $ go and your expected Return On Investment, I offer a crude start at validating the effect of Yagyas (as per the announced effect of the Yagya) vs. some kind of objective measure of its actual effect. The first link documents the announced intention of one Yagya offered by this fellow, and its cost ($11,000). http://www.expertvedicastrology.com/index.php?pr=Yagya_for_World_Peace The second link documents the ongoing conflicts in the world during 2006: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0904550.html It would seem that the benefactors who donated to this Yagya, other than the "feel good" benefit of contributing to a supposedly noble cause, got at least 20 continuing significant armed conflicts for their money. That's less than $500 US per war, which some would consider a bargain. One of the conflicts (the one in Sri Lanka, fairly close to the "broadcast tower" for the Yagya's Woo Woo Rays) actually had a four-year cease fire fall apart and revert to armed conflict again shortly after the Yagya was performed. T'would seem that either the gods aren't listening, or perhaps the 121 pundits got the pronunciation of one of the verses slightly wrong. Either that, or the Yagya was a total success, and accomplished its intended effect (bringing in $11,000) perfectly.
