Right - I do not think the inventor of Babm was ever a sumo wrestler! I
clearly mistyped the name - sorry about that. It should, as Ronald says,
be _Rikishi_.

Thanks - yes, "universal consciousness" fits well with his claim to have
gained assurance of absolute truth and the supreme good at the age of
40. It does look as tho his given name was Rikishi, but that upon
receiving what he perceived to be enlightenment as regards universal
truth he adopted the name "universal consciousness."
