       Canada ! Canada respects multi-culturalism and many canadians
       like cleaner air and acid-free rain ( note: acid rain is caused by
       unethical policies of USA). :-)

It's easy to have bad experiences on any airline.  Rather than anecdotal
evidence, I'd like to see some statistics.  Is the airline involved in more
accidents than others?  Does the airline have more delays than others?  Does
the airline rate higher or lower in customer satisfaction as measured by
surveys than others?

Some of your complaints may have nothing to do with the airline.  Delays are
often beyond the airline's control.  And I certainly wouldn't blame the airline
for the fact that there were long lines at the taxi stands.

I suppose my experience is as valid as yours.  I found the service in the
air and on the ground to be courteous and professional.  I didn't have to 
wait on lines for my taxi or my baggage.  Bags were transfered without incident
between MAS flights and between the MAS flights and my connecting Continental
flights.  Based on my experience, I'd definitely fly them again, and I'd
recommend them to others.

Hello,

According to my copy of the survey, Sanjay Jain was maintaining the
list, but when I tried to send email to him about a travel agent in LA,
it bounced.  The travel agent is Paru's Tours & Travels who did a good
job with my tickets when I went to India last month.  They did lie to me
once about my personal check not clearing when it actually had, but they
sent me the ticket within a couple of days.

I did not enquire about credit cards, so I have no idea whether they
accept credit cards or charge a fee for charging the tickets.

(Mani Varadarajan) writes:
- While it is certainly true that the Alvars, Ramanuja, and his
- followers provided a solid emotional and philosophical basis
- for Vaishnavism, there is very little evidence (from what I
- have read) that indicates that the mythology of Krishna/Vishnu
- originated in the south. Rather, all the evidence (cf. "Viraha
- Bhakti", by Friedhelm Hardy, Oxford University Press) indicates
- that the Tamil names Mayon, Mayavan, and Mal refer only to the
- northern Krishna/Vishnu, (like Andal's phrase "mayanai ... vada
- madurai ...")
- 

Certainly, the Krishna cult did originate in Northern india. But there are  
two converging threads running here. One is Vishnu as Vishnu himself and  
another is Vishnu as one of his Avataras. It is only in South india that  
Vishnu is worshipped as Varadaraja or as Ranganatha, in the north it is  
mainly Krishna/Rama. That has been taken as some sort of indirect evidence  
for the notion that the Krishna cult originated separately and later  
Krishna was identified with Vishnu in the form of an avatara.  It is again  
a uniquely Tamil conception to regard Vishnu as the elder brother of  
Parvati, thus making him the b-in-law of Shiva. Specifically, this is  
related to the Madurai Minakshi legend. In the more well known  
Siva-Parvati legends, Parvati is the daughter of the Himalayas, and the  
relationship between Vishnu and Parvati is not evident. 

Thus, Mudalvan (Siva), Mal and Muruga were all Dravidian Gods thought to  
have been identified with Rudra, Vishnu and Subrahmanya respectively in  
the period of the later synthesis of Vedic with non-Vedic religious  
elements. 

Certainly much of this is based on extrapolation and some amount of  
conjecture by researchers. but then we do not have much evidence for  
conditions in ancient South India other than Sangam poetry and literature,  
much of which is lost. 


- The Mayon mythology, of course, came to the South in the Sangam
- or pre-Sangam era.  But since Krishna is essentially a
- historical and mythological god, we have to conclude that 
- Mayon = Krishna from the north and nothing else. (Also note
- that the Gita and the Harivamsa predate references to Krishna
- in Tamil literature.)
- 


Not really, as pointed out earlier. Padmanabha, Ranganatha, Seshasayee  
etc. are aspects of Vishnu worshipped predominantly in the south and these  
are definitely Vishnu, not necessarily Krishna.
