Guru fights "poverty of love" with motherly hugs |
KERALA, India (CNN) -- Mata Amritanandamayi is known as the "hugging guru." Some
days, she will sit for up to 20 hours straight as tens of thousands of devotees
line up to feel her embrace and hear her whisper motherly advice.
....
Gautam is a fair-haired, freckle-skinned 31-year-old from California who has
been living at the ashram for eight years. Before Amma renamed him, he was known
as Brian Harvey and worked at Yahoo.

I guess that following a hugging guru is better than taking up a jihad against
your mother country. :-)

But far less effective from the meme's point of view.
Have you no heart man? Consider the meme!

Apparently Japan is terrified of this cult spreading to their country and has
taken some fairly aggressive steps including the deployment of this device,

I just tried it again and it is there. Maybe they were doing maintenance or
everyone tried looking at it at the same time ;-)

Got through this time.
I must say that I was a bit hesitant to view it, 'coming' as does from
a magazine about 'gizz'.
