Dear ShrI Mani:

My intention was not to elicit an apology from you or anything like that. It 
was not necessary.  All I was pointing out was that my perception on the 
matter is quite different.

I enjoyed your preface to the proposed Sandhyavandana article.  Once again I 
should point out that I greatly enjoy your writings (even if I don't agree 
with the viewpoints expressed, which happens rarely though).
