Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Someone on this list emailed me a picture of Balaji, asking me to mail it to seven other people, adding that good luck would follow me if I did so, and that under no circumstances should I break the chain. First of all, the person should have merely sent the picture giving blessings for good luck. There should have been no stipulation to send it to it to 7 other people with a hint of dire consequences if one did not do so. Who gives this person the authority to make these decisions, to compel others to do something? I don't think needs Balaji needs a self-appointed PR person. What is the purpose in having a chain other than garnering email addresses? It would be far better to recite the Vishnu Sahasranama with devotion. It is enough if one remembers the Divine in one's heart, email chains and frightening the innocent make religion a superstition. --aphoton. --aphoton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
