 SA. AUTOGESTION Dear Sir, 1 am substitute senator. I am the mother of 9 childeren. I am 58 years old. : always, during my life, 1 have much interest for politic, for psychology, for health and energy . I have learned with many west and east masters for the synthesis and the happiness of the man. Bhagwan is the greatest master, for Bhagwan understands the west peoples and the east peoples : Bhagwan is teaching the tremendous relaxation : energy outside and peace inside. Bhagwan is the unique master for all the peoples of the world, any race, any country, any culture. The president Reagan asks for attention about the nervous diseases who are anguish inside and tiredness outside. Bhagwan is extraordinary : his is a big wealth for U.S.A., for the U.S is the country where new ideas get wealth for humanity. Since Bhagwan is in U.S.A., I have been thrice in Oregon to experience the teachings of Bhagwan. Yours faithfully |
