Just found your website on tsunami- and am deeply touched. It was my father's hotel you were at and his children and grandchildren were all there to celebrate holidays and daddy finishing the resort. We lost my baby sister (Dad's #4 daughter (there was 4 daughters, now 3). My 1st time seeing pics of our place filled up..I saw so many after the waters receded. We found her body in thelake and now she is buried there just outside of office by the front lobby. Under the palm tree that saved dad's life. Sorry it happened, everyone lost, but we also won - my father, mom, two other sisters , my brother in law and my own 3 sons (7,10 & 11) and baby nephew all survived. 11 out of 12 is a miracle I will always thank God for. Going back again this xmas to see my little Kara who is buried there. God bless you. Please visit again, not necessarily our hotel but the area as the people need our help. Ms. Leela,

Religion is normally open to "their" converted and close minded about the rest. I think the former Pope was the only religous head who attempted dialogue with Muslim clerics and with heads of Communism. Nana Leela Mmm, have to think about that.

Somehow I feel, obviously or in hidden secret ways, they all expect you to change your mind and agree with them. I would probably agree with some of them if this expectation doesn't lurk in the background. If Pope John Paul II was really as great as people or media made him to be, I wonder how he could ignore the suffering of innocent boys at the hands of his priests. How come he didn't meet a single vicitm of sexual abuse? What use is going and letting people kiss your ring if you cannot feel their pain? As for Pope Benedict XVI, I hope he would go beyond listening and become a karma yogi instead. What use is listening if it doesn't inspire you to act?
