Art of Living: No thanks I will stick to unbranded Yoga- Part II

Tomorrow is the last day of the ar tof living course. This course has 150 participants and something special has been planned for the last day. What is this 'something special'? Well its like potluck and each one gets something for the other. Since the aol guys pride themselves on their organisational effectivenes, 15 groups have been formed and each group has been assigned the task of chipping in with Rotis, sabzki, dal, chawal. My mom-in-law's group has to get fruits. Now get this and I am not kidding- each person in that group has been asked to get 1.5 Kg of 5 varieties of fruits. So it adds of up 7.5 Kg of fuits per person so a total of 112 Kg of fruits will be distributed by that group. I love it. Look at these guys, I mean, just look how the aol folks are burdening people by this demand. Many of them are people who have saved money just to attend the course and now the extra cost that has to be borne just so that the aol principle of share and share alike can be fulfilled. I am speechless.
On sunday I am going to accompany my mom-in-law to the ashram when SSR (Sri Ravishankar) is going to grant special audience to the participants. If I can, I will definitely raise this question where aol has asked people to spend out of their own pockets for organising a shared meal. This is a load of CRAP.
