Correspondents say Rio is one of the most violent cities in the world. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3725204.stm Dozens killed in Pakistan blastThursday, 7 October, 2004 It is not yet clear who carried out the attack Troops have been called in to maintain order in the Pakistani city of Multan after a car bomb killed at least 40 people at a meeting of Sunni Muslims.

You have to rise in spiritual life and if your movement is downward who can help you? This is a very interesting Time as I have told you — is the Time of Judgment — and at this Time we have to be careful that we are our own judges."
