I would have loved to have been there, Jethro.  And to have closely watched Charanand (who I actually only ever knew as Mahatma Gurucharanand) to see what effect your obvious expression of truth might have on his slick, hindu Ricardo Montabalm visage.  In unkind moments, I'm sure many of us feel at least a bit pathetic at times in these aging bodies. But at least we have our dignity.  The premies you describe don't have that and it's so sad to think about.  Frightening, really, to think how close I was to throwing my whole life away.

I look forward to hearing whatever else you've got to say on this.  Satsang indeed!
