Despite numerous international agencies having services on the ground within days - TPRF takes the a month to say what it is doing with the money it has collected. This is not a sprint race, you idiot.

OK. Disaster strikes - no hurry to get resources where they are needed

Jeeva Shakti Society Ltd - not a charity, not required to publish publicly available accounts Wrong again, Mr know-it-all-but-does-not-have-a-clue-really.

Fine, if I'm wrong why not give the details of JSS Ltd charitable status and the source of documentation - I'm sure that would resolve whether JJSLtd was set up to promote Rawat or not.

thus community kitchens and distribution systems are run and controlled not by the 'non profits' but by local people Exactly. These are local people, volunteers from Jeeva Shakti. They live there. Again, an obfuscated interpretation of reality!

Are you saying that the followers of Rawat who are volunteers with JSSLtd have themselves suffered directly from the tsunami and are therefore benefiting from TPRF collected funds ?

Effective disaster relief depends not on simply feeding/clothing/housing people - it depends upon giving back people control of their lives and their environment, if the relief is delivered without expressly giving control to local communities it risks making those communities both physically and psychologically dependent on well meaning but ultimately unsupportive agencies. Exactly. Jeeva is not an "unsupportive agency". It is part if the community of people there. Not a foreign NGO.

Merely being local (where is JSSLtd based ? Columbo ?) does not make it 'the community'- JSSLtd's purpose is to promote Rawat which is hardly a qualification for giving back people control of their lives and their environment.

Yadot, you said previously that JSSLtd had nothing to do with Elan Vital - can you explain then why the JSSLtd e mail address is given as the Elan Vital contact for Sri Lanka ?

I know you get very upset by all this, and can't control your need to throw insults around but do try to answer these questions directly - we can then move on.
