   A good observation, indeed.  It is as if they are
saying, "Since you have money, you can enjoy the luxury
of renting someone to listen to you talk about your
problems.  What, you don't have any problems!  Come
here, let us tell you scientifically what problems you
have."  -  Jai Maharaj

   In Bharat (aka India) where the way of life is rooted
in ancient Vedic knowledge and Hinduism, most people
seek advice and counseling at the temple and from their
family elders.  In turn, they receive solace, compassion
and wisdom necessary for healing.  -  Jai Maharaj

   Why is there a fatal attraction to dangerous
dispensation in the industrialized West?
