You should send him a copy of David Wants to Fly. :-)
And while your at it, you should also try to get a copy of the recent
interview with SBS's successor. He's very clear: the person who
created the recent problems re: Jyotir Math and who sowed the seeds
of dissension there were none other than Mahesh Varma.
What it boils down to in your friends case is true believers will
believe anything. They're not actually interested in scholarship, but
only what supports their acquired illusions.
