Followed by, "And may these male offspring be stuck in the same caste you are forever, and thus unable to pollute our upper-caste Brahmin ranks with their low-born blood." Ignorance and prejudice and chauvinism masquer- ading as spiritual wisdom aren't wisdom. And IMO those who defend such as ideas *as* spiritual wisdom are masquerading as human beings. I'm sorry, but "If it's Vedic it's good" has as much validity as Mike Myers' "If it's not Scottish it's crap." At least his aphorism was a joke.
