Sai Ashrams - 4 Dangers, surveillance, amusing incidents
Manipulation of people: flattery is a powerful tool, those who cannot

There are many dangers about which no one is ever informed and the tightest security controls the ashram, where secret surveillance and complete censorship of anything untoward is rigorously observed. An interesting incident occurred illustrating this when Shoko Asahara's men tried to muscle in on the ashram.

This is no hindrance to the many who want to gain boons or obtain the gift of becoming a healer themselves... some have more than a screw loose...
