[color=#0000FF]PS: For those who might want to give him credit for being a very religious and charitable man, I have this to say. It was all business. If you sell soft drinks, you sponsor rock shows, if you sell 'bhajans', well then you sponsor religious functions. Quite simple actually.
It's interesting that this topic arose, because here in Toronto(Ajax, Pickering to be explicit) Chan-chal(I think it's spelled this way) comes here to a local temple once a year every summer to sing bhajans for a couple of hours, and the story that does the rounds every year is that, he requires a certain amount of fee for his time before he actually starts singing and if those requirements aren't fulfilled, he refuses to sing or make a public appearance. If true, which most people here believe it is, since one time his public apparance got delayed for a full 45 mintues despite being present in the temple, it seems the laws of business has more authority even over religion.
