Evaluating spiritual topics is an open domain here where anyone, regardless of standing, may profer opinion.
It is of note that rather than offering reasoned argument, you resort to making a personal attack. You make this slight, concerning your perception of my intelligence, but do not offer any cogent argument as to why one ought to believe what is contained in 'Vedic literature' when, as I pointed out, it is so 'full of ghastly wars, vile punishments for minor crimes, talking animals and wizardry too'. I suggest that it is you that puts the gutter-press content into FFL, through your constant postings from media trawls and by your rudeness. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, bbrigante <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Premanand Paul Mason" > <premanandpaul@> wrote: > > > > 'Vedic literature' is full of ghastly wars, vile punishments for > > minor crimes, talking animals and wizardry too. > > > > ************** > > You wrote a book about a great saint, so you think you have standing > to evaluate spiritual topics, but you write from a level of > intelligence that does not qualify you to be more than a gossip > columnist at a tabloid. > > The centerpiece of Vedic culture is total awareness -- if you seek > that, the ugliness you refer to goes away: i.e., stay tuned for the > Sat Yuga. > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, bbrigante <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Premanand Paul Mason" > > > <premanandpaul@> wrote: > > > > > > > > Possibly, to imagine that the enlightened can do no 'wrong' is > > > roughly > > > > the same as believing in the 'blue-blood' of royals and their > > > > intimate connection with God.
