The statement I made is a general one.

I did *not* know if I AM is charging or not. Glad you clarified that they
dont charge a cent for their classes.

As for TS, all the lodges in India never charged anything anytime to anyone
for any lectures or classes.

Here in the US of course the situation in different. As a matter of fact I
did *not* attend a recent lecture program at our lodge since I did not like
the *suggested* donation stated in the announcement flyer. I believe that
all good things in life are free and more so with all spiritual matters.
