Over
the years Rama taught many, many students. Some were fortunate
enough to be able to stay with him for years. Others, due to the
circumstances in their lives, were unable to do so. None are better
than another. Each followed his or her own path and has learned
from the experiences.
Rama's
students represent a sangha. When the parts are flung to the wind
and forced to fend for themselves they themselves and the whole
are weakened. Across the country and around the world Rama has
many students, each with their own experiences, each with something
to contribute to the whole.
