Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Dear Mohan ram Please have your facts right before you make statements like Narasimha Rao's Jhora Software charge of $180.00 and using it to justify the charge of $100.00 by your guruji Shri Dakshinamurthiji to cover his cost. FOR YOUR INFORMATION Narasimha Rao never pocketed the money to cover his cost, all proceeds were for the benefit of SJVC (Sri Jaganath Vedic Centre). I do not understand why you are trying to to over justyfy the charge of $100.00. Shri Dakshinamurthi ji has every right to charge whatever he thinks is right for his services: he is not forcing anybody to join the course. I hope I have not offended you in anyway.
