"...if you believe in it, it is a religion or perhaps 'the' religion; and if you do not care one way or another about it, it is a sect; but if you fear and hate it, it is a cult." Leo Pfeffer. Har Tzion

Is this some kind of cult thing ?
I did a Google on har-tzion and got 19,900 hits. A lot of them are one liners like this (though most with phrases like "This is only to recomend this wonderfull site about meditation in the internet,i receive so much inspiration from them. The site is: Har Tzion" or "I recommend to everyone who wishes to enter this incredible site about Meditation, philosophy, enlightenment and wisdom. This site has given me so much, I hope it will give you too. Har Tzion").
I thought it might be spamming but the dates are pretty spread out - back to at last 2001. I wonder if posting on a random Board is some kind of initiation rite ?
The subject matter of the Boards is varied - my two favourites were one about modems and another about aquariums (correct plural ?).

Confused ? You will be...

Spam, not spam - that is the question
Site was here promoted in two previous topics, in March of 2003.
A True Master
Religion and Meditation
My opinion - Yes, it's spam, but it is at least somewhere in vacinity of relevance at .
If this is our worst problem, then we're doing pretty good.

I took a quick look. Never heard of the organization before. It seems to be a sect devoted to Krishna, which is mainstream religion in India.
