over at E-Sangha there is a hilarious discussion (running at this point to
several hundred posts) about Geshe(?) M. Roach's qualifications (or lack
thereof) as a mahasiddhi, his and his girlfriend's uses of his vajra,
whether he should give his robes back or merely iron them once in awhile,
etc:

On it was posted the link to the Diamond Mountain blog:

this was posted because of the pictures there of GMR and his girlfriend
ordaining monks, which is apparently more than some people can take on a
full stomach. Whatever.

Fortunately, on the same page there is an entry about a visit from the
singer Mangala Tivari. They got her to record the Heart Sutra sung in
Sanskrit. I've heard other sung-HS recordings in Sanskrit, but they were
over like a disco beat or something cheesy. This recording is absolutely
beautiful.
