And for anyone planning to attend Amma's programs in

Toronto (assuming you are not deterred from travel to

Canada by the cost of gas or the threat of your house

being foreclosed), I am co-ordinating bookstore

security and looking for sevites.. here's your chance

to wear one of those groovy orange vests!

I'm curious as to when they decided to use security, was it after an

audit revealed alot of losses or 'shrink' (retail term)? And has

anyone been caught stealing since, or just the losses reduced? The

system of vouchers/receipts has probably helped alot.

 

I'm asking because I had noticed long ago on tours that the situation

seemed prone to theft, not because of intention, but because of the

blissed-out mentality of the program attendees along with a laid-back

attitude towards materialism. So it was very easy for shoppers to

pick something up and then walk off with it, placing it with their

things forgetting to pay.

Hearsay is that Amma asked for it, as people were even bringing stolen items to

Amma for blessings.

OM Amrtesvaryai Namah!

 

Namaskarams!

 

i heard this from security people in Toronot last year, that they were

even doing it there WITH security staff...unless i misheard of course,

and they were talking of the past times...but my understanding was

that it was even happening then..

 

in Amma's love,

and Service

as ever,

your own Self,
