Or was it occidental? But then again could be something mysterious in my ocular system.

[I'm not an Indian, but I play one on TV.] OK. A comment. A Little Bo Peep diploma ascertaining that some executive is versed in the mysteries of the East isn't going to help him compete in the marketplace. I don't deny that there is value in non-western religions and knowledge, I just don't think that anyone is going to learn anything significant about life, the universe, and everything from such a meeting.

In that they were talking about how meditation and other yogic practices are attracting and helping the hard-working, strain filled, top notches of several leading corporations. Looks like these ideas seem to be getting popular. - Mahesh Chari.

Where will they go to hire the faculty? To the Ghats of Haridwar and Varanasi....I guess!!!!!! Just imagine........

Here's something interesting from the 29 Oct 86 issue of the New York Times (page 1, column 1): "Representatives of some of the nation's largest corporations, including IBM, AT&T, and General Motors, met in New Mexico in July to discuss how metaphysics, the occult, and Hindu mysticism might help executives compete in the marketplace."

Does therein not lie a contradiction ? Comments, anyone?
