"OK, but who is the arbiter of whether the "blessing" has been given?"

These teachings have survived, nay- grown, in India for milennia. Without an "arbiter of the blessing" (what a strange word and a strange concept for something so subtle and sacred).

The Catholic Church has the pope as their, ah, arbiter of whether a saint is a saint. I trust my own Guru-guided intuition and first-hand experience over the pope. I'm not questioning the popes spiritual authority, but this is not the way of my Guru and thousands of years of spiritual tradition in India.

Yes, India has also produced countless sham yogis. I've seen and met them. But this wide-open 'system' is responsible for giving us saints, masters, and the sacred Kriya science. God forbid that India appoint a special Council of the Arbiter of the Blessing to 'protect' us!
