Do you both mean Usha the Yagya wife of Ramesh Shah the trustee and accountant?
Ed Wondoloski gets a big name title as the President of "Living Values: An Educational Program Inc." in Haines Falls, NY as well as Professor of Management, Bentley College (a private business school with fees of $30,000 per year), "Self Managing Leadership Director" and, it seems, an expert on the
spiritual meaning of Harry Potter.
With programmes such as "LVE Training for the Tourism Industry, Business Schools and Health Professionals" and "MIND (Management Institute for National Development) LVE Program for Administrators" its looks like I have fallen asleep and lost track of all their acronyms.
Please do not allow me to interrupt the flow of this topic, and joel and bkti-pit's discussion, but its funny ... looking at the biographies of the Living Values, Inc there are all these super high ranking Brahma Kumari followers forgetting to mention their affiliation and the MO behind it all.
So, if the Values in Healthcare people have to throw a "bung" back at the old girl's foundation ... what about these guys? Is it the same deal? (May be we are closer to discover where Janki Kripalani gets her private funds from?).

How well are we doing in that camp? How do we respond when we lose the use of our Magic wands? Harry was the owner, navigator and helmsperson of his boat, and how well do each of us handle our own boat? There are a number of occasions when our three warriors demonstrate their ability to truly live their values. We will have an opportunity to reflect on how we are living our core values, and increase our capacity to live them well and to work with the magic of powerful thoughts in our lives. Come join us for an insightful and fun experience as we relive the adventures of Harry Potter from our own perspectives and life experiences.
