Points: "Dr Chopra says he does not consider himself a Hindu and that has been his spiritual position for over 25 years....His interest in the spiritual side of Hinduism and traditional Indian medicine evolved while observing a mind-body connection in his research, and an encounter in 1985 with the Maharishi at a DC conference, he has said." What contradictory and confusing a person, Dr Gupta. He said, he don't consider himself a Hindu, but again talked on his interest on spiritual side of Hinduism and Indian medicine. Please be honest Dr Gupta, it is Hindu or Sanatan or Vedic dharma that shaped your career and personality. How can you detach spirituality of Hinduism and Indian medicine (Ayurveda) and Yoga (from your Guru Maharshi Mahesh Yogi) from Hindu or Sanatan Dharma? What credit you want to take out of what? Are you ashamped to call yourself a Hindu or a follower of Sanatan dharma, when you make your life on it? I think, Dr Gupta perhaps suffering from a inferiority complex disease, for which there is no medicine in Dr Gupata's medical science but in Hindu/Sanatan spirituality only. Please remove your name Deepak (a Hindu Vedic Sanskrit word) from name and then see, how much you can sale yourself. Remove Yoga, ayurveda, vedic knowledge from your work, and see where you stand. A big Zero would be the final result.
