Dear Sudhansu i knowpeople like u will find this funny , if the same information would have been given by a westerner in any university u would have said is that so.but now when i search on net i found most westerner more educated on sanatana dharma then indians.there is a magazine called hinduism today written by all western monks adopted hinduism,their monastery is in kuaii, similarly,atmajyoti ashram.b'coz this is atransition phase of india once it is over then we will awake to realise truth by then we west would have mastered this.My guru ji who is an engineer by profession from a forign university was asked to continue as a professor of hinduism in Ny but he refused.stilll in india you find true yogi's.Please do get reducated in your civilisation.First search for truth and then ridicule it.read autobiography of a yogi,vivekananda,sai babab, swami nityananda,swami ramtirth, ramkrishna paramhansa, mahavtar babaji and lahiri mahashya and then come back to me. All the best.
