 Norma I. Hernandez TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Let me introduce myself. I have my Bachelors degree in Secondary Education with a major in Secretarial Sciences. I graduated Magna Cum Laude. Presently I am a law student at the University of Puerto Rico with a 3.58 grade point average. It is for me a great pleasure to express myself about the extraordinary contribution of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Bhagwan is the most talented and exceptional humanistic philosopher of this century. His inovations in the fields of education, psychology, philosophy and religion is immeasurable. Just a mere glance at his innumerable religious discourses which have been collected in books, is sufficient to prove without a doubt that he; is an extraordinary man. As an American, I would like that the U.S. would have the honor and privelege of the benefit of such an internationally renowned person. Sincerely, |
