What contradictions exist in church doctrine are compounded in the unlikely meeting of Mormonism and Harvard. In this analytical and often cynical community, the spirituality of Mormons and their peculiar religious dogma stand out like saffron-robed Krishna followers in a crowd of Unification Church members. Just as the notion of an inconspicuous 19th-century American starting a religion heavily based on a pair of long-lost golden tablets brings snickers here, so the spirituality of Mormonism clashes with the pre-professionalism that prevails here. While Mormons are certainly not opponents of the return to academics, they do not spend...
...yogic meditation. A moral life is the sine qua non of yoga practice. The students and admirers of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi have no need to give up sex, liquor and other immoral habits. They are reveling in immoral habits at the cost of basic moral values." TM, adds A.K. Krishna Nambiar, publisher and editor of Spiritual India, "can make you a better executive, but it cannot give you the spiritual ecstasy that other, more spiritual meditation techniques do.

"Spring is Here" demonstrates her abilities on the dulcimer, but the line, "I know that God must be smilin" 'is just too much to hear nine times in a single song; it sounds like a mispronounced Hare Krishna chant. Both "Secret" and "Listen to Your Own Heart" are extended bitches with appropriately annoying bass rhythms that pound the songs into the ground. "Wild Bird" is the only decent cut on the second side...
...this mountain of cultural prejudice, Janet Barkas has planted The Vegetable Passion, a monomaniacal history of herbivores from Neanderthal man to the Hare Krishna people. Between her gargoyle book ends, this vegetarian convert presents a series of case histories. Each serves to dispel the notion that vegetable dieters are as alike as peas in a pod. Here is the early Christian theologian-and heretic-Origen, who castrated himself, and the American Benjamin Franklin, who did not. Here is Pythagoras, who denounced beans, and Horace Greeley, who renounced coffee. Here are the diverse saints and satans of human history: Gandhi...
