Men to fast in Square
Two full-time workers of the Ananda Marga Yoga Society intend to fast in Cathedral Square for three days from this morning to bring people’s attention to the imprisonment of the society’s guru, Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, in India. The two followers. Apostle Perkoulidis and Digby Howard, will be taking only lemon juice from this morning until Friday night. The society says that its leader has been imprisoned without bail since December. 1971, on charges of murder and conspiracy. The murder charges were drooped last December, but the court battle continues. Shrii Shrii Anandamurti has not eaten any solid food since February, 1973, after being poisoned in prison, the society says.
