You're preaching to a bunch of Peter Pans, who were taught by Maharishi to never grow up. Why should we believe the old tales of the Indians? Because that's the way of the hippie generation. Don't believe anyone over 30. Don't believe the government. Don't believe your religion. Don't believe authorities. Don't believe your parents. But do believe some fairy tales from India because India is a far away place and Indians would never lie to you, would they?
