Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 OHM SHRI RAGAVENDRAYA NAMAH JAYA JAGANNATHA Namaste friends, Even after the small explanation, if any one is hurt, irrespective of my view and stand, I should withdraw my statement. I apologize for the statement and I withdraw. For me SJVC and their feeling are far more important than my view. Still I didn't mean any ill feeling. I can argue with Visti's points, that is not going to help anybody. So, I request the members to drop this thread. What I meant is Prophet Mohd was not driven by his own Atma or Atmakaraka as in the case of other saints or religious teachers.
