Guest guest Posted June 21, 2000 Report Share Posted June 21, 2000 Beautiful news Jay. You are doing an excellent work. There will always be resistance from local community and even Swami Vivekananda faced this when he started preaching. I am sure His blessings will always be there for your self-less work.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2000 Report Share Posted June 21, 2000 Greetings Jay, Since it is non-commercial, can I ask what is the syllabus contents of the exams meant for 16 and 17 year olds? Also, what is the depth? FYI here in Malaysia, there is only Islamic and Bible studies for exams especially the former is given more importance. -- Warmest regards, Ruben ruben _____________ The good hearted man who professes no religion is the truly religious man. -Sathya Sai Baba.
