I have no recollection of this particular post of yours in the Bhakti list since I have not been a member there for several years now. I'm glad my own musings on 'swAmi' y/day was able to draw out from you a valuable nugget from the archives for the benefit of all members here in T'vengadam. Thanking you and deep regards, dAsan, Sudarshan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
