gypsy dear.....<br><br>Wow...did you think I

thought your devotion was a cult and your artifacts

idols??????!!<br>No no! I was referring to those who "worship" rock

stars, and the ilk. You see, I

sometimes<br>(sometimes??) have this communication problem.<br>You'd think

I'd take a course, or something, by

now....)<br><br>I, myself, have an artifact to Shiva on my

altar<br>to whom I call plus two statues of Buddha and<br>a

picture of Lord Maitreya. I wouldn't start the day

without "Maim; OM Maitreya Maim; Namo Maitreya; Maitri

Maitri Maha Maitri Svaha...."<br><br>I'm glad that you

are so devoted to Sri RamaKrishna.<br>He is another

of my favorites.<br><br>Love is the answer.....what

was the question?<br><br>Always in the
