 Can the kriya's help a person that has a history of long drug use and obsession post what is it? Compulsive behavior problems Mental problems, can the kriya's help with that? It's very small way. We are working with people like that But if we have to handle large groups of people like that we need a Certain facility and a certain support system Definitely they could be helped but It needs a certain atmosphere a certain facility and things like that right now the local volunteers and meditators have You know wanting to set up a center in the United States So they bought some land in Tennessee now It's a very beautiful piece of land We have three waterfalls Inside the land and it's very good So if the center comes up there in a short while Then maybe we could think of handling such situations, but then we need to Let's build a place then train the people.
