(Beauty and the beastly, I guess.) But then who can question such things and hope to get valid answers? It is all Ranganathan's "tiruvullaM"! If it is "bhagavath-sankalpam" that 'arayar-sevai' must be conducted under "heavy police-bandobast" ... we better accept it. Just a thought. dAsan, Sampathkumaran __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!
