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.

Well said Bharat bhai. Our great book writer is now clearly confused. He reminds me of some Hindus I had met in my life. Usually from traditional families, they would say, "I am a 'free-thinker'". Once you find out that they are drinking, smoking, eating beef, having sex before marriage, then you know why they are "free-thinkers". One of them came to me once asking for advice with a problem he had - a sexually transmitted disease. Despite my help, his life went downhill. He had no anchor of any sort, did not feel part of his community any longer. Non-Hindus he was with enslaved him, he was an errand boy for them, lost his money and one day disappeared out of sight. Ambition and lack of self-control can destroy one - that, as I see, is the lesson to learn from Duryodhana and his brothers.

What is wrong with free thinking! You are the way you are because your elders brain washed you completely with theories of religion and stupid god! Problem is we Indians live too long with our parents. They manipulate too much. I was raised in a similar situation but in a christian family. I have gotten over it after 2 years of moving away from my family and facing real world. All religions, religious texts are full of crap! Their rules are so contradictory that if you follow one rule you will break the other! If you want to believe in divine powers get over with your religious sentiments and culture and think independently. God himself is living in a strip club high on dope because he got tired of complaints from religious funcumentalists and traditionalists!

LOL..tell me about it... I have seen so called 'socialists' & 'free thinkers' who amass tons of American money and in the same breath cuss the heck out of the very system that made it possible for them...the other is you will see these people come to pujas, and still maintain their 'free thinking' non Hindu status...Deepak Chopra, who sells what Hindu sages have said 1000s of years ago fall into the second category.
