Below is the URL that I found as a result of my Google search. I snipped the quote from there and reposted it to FFL. http://www.hindunet.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=57521&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 http://tinyurl.com/yg9lmf Not quite as nefarious as Judy makes it sound, is it? Now, the REAL question one might ask is why someone who is a known apologist for Maharishi and the TM would spend all this time trying to track down the source of the quote when the references to the parts of the Vedas that document animal sacrifice are right there in the quote itself. WHOEVER wrote the quote, THAT would seem to be the issue, wouldn't it? A *real* scholar would look up the relevant sections in the Vedas and see if they said what this person (whoever it is) claims they said, and either confirm his stance or refute it. But that's too much trouble for "scholar Judy." Her idea of "scholarship" and intellectual debate is to search the Internet to try to find something she can use to "kill the messenger." Like all True Believers, she's found that's much easier than dealing with the message.
