"I wonder how these "no dogma" people would react to going to Amaroo and singing Arti, or having a darshan line, like has happened repeatedly there."

I used to wonder similar things even at the time, which was pre-Amaroo. I knew that sooner or later these early nineties aspirants and new premies, who had been protected from the worst excesses of devotion,  would come across some confusing and contradictory antics and conversation from premie friends or at big events....or watch an old video or something.

Actually , of course there were always those who would be attracted by the devotional aspect. I was/ would have been, and it ( overt devotion) was the thing that surrendered my  ex-husband in the early eighties.
