There are many things in this world about which one can be 100% objective. For example, one can count how many Hindu temples there are in the world today compared to 30 years ago, and determine how much they are worth. One can Google search to make the same comparison on how much money is being spent on religious services and donations on an annual basis. One can even photograph with a Canon EOS-5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera through an EF 24-105L image stabilizing lens (courtesy of Google, Inc.) how many Narkasurs roamed the road of the independent Republic of Chimbel on Diwali night in 2010 compared to when Pandurang was a boy. BTW, here is my second completely flammable Narkasur in the first (since July 2nd, not 4th, 1776) genuinely free and increasingly Christian, Islamic and Hindu nation of United States of America: http://tinyurl.com/NarkasurHelekar2010 On each of the above scientific parameters one can get a 100% accurate answer to at least two decimal places. On the other hand, the prejudgment that my view of Hindu religion is myopic and prejudiced because of science, modernism or fashion is 0% objective. Cheers, Santosh P.S. BTW, the professional and business opportunity created by the career moves of the heirs of Charudatt's purohit (family priest) was capitalized on by an exceptionally entrepreneurial and talented migrant priest who has set up an excellent full service religious business. --- On Mon, 1/24/11, Charudatt Prabhudesai <[email protected]> wrote: > RE: I would decidedly not to figure in your list > dotormam.
