Not to mention "killing the messenger." There is a
great deal of resistance on the part of members of
Indian-based spiritual groups to equating the
"Vedic Science" movement with Christian Fundament-
alism, but I think that not only is it a valid
parallel, it's something that seekers should be
more aware of. Far too many of them just accept
what they've been told about the Vedas and Indian
history (much of it myth) as gospel truth, when
it just might not be.
But isn't it fascinating that when this issue
comes up, the first post reacting to it on FFL
is an attempt to demonize and discredit the
author? Typical.
