Bangalore - One example could be Art of Living. And am clueless about Karnataka Society Law's. In Pune Osho provides membership access to foreign nationals, it might be registered differently (other than society.) *As for your latter point on "'Is it adult censored organization?' - > one could ask whether voting in this country is an 'Is it adult > censored organization*?' > That was comment from someone who had query., Other than voting, minors do have access to health, education and other facilities. Govt provides service/'citizenship' to citizens irrespective of age.. Like I suggested [possible solution] in another thread [[1]] - There can be minimal/virtual membership. Its just to include every interested person into Chapter. People may feel bad if we keep them away. If possible - lets try to include as many people as we can??.. *> Can we expect - new Membership (April-2013 to March 2014) will be > available > > to everyone by crossing age and nationality barrier? :) > * * > It is highly unlikely that the Registrar, should he give his approval, > will be able to take a decision on this in such a compressed time > frame. > * Hope so at-least process will start soon. :) Keep Exploring, Keep Inspiring!
