Francois Gautier brought to fore the crux of the matter. My thanks and salutations to him. I pray and wish that let some of the Gurus / Swamis at the top (who have large following in masses) take the INITIATIVE to get together and pose the problem to themselves and then come to devise something of a Common Minimum Program (CMP) under the banner of "Uniting the Hindus" which each of them follow. Also, let the Gurus/Swamis who devise the CMP chair the CMP forum on a rotation (say yearly) basis. I am confident masses will flow into such a venture. If such an attempt is made by the Gurus/Swamis concerned, let them seek volunteers who are prepared to come forward to assist in its running / functioning. I am again confident that hundreds of qualified people who can assist in this process will be available. Question is "who is to bell the cat" to start this CMP like process from amongst the top Gurus / Swamis. Dr. Chandra Saksena (kriya1@hotmail.com)
