Dear friends:
I wish Sankar had not reproduced so much ........ He could have left at
just the first two lines............Any way, thanks for bringing to
notice this rotten work. This was no doubt inspired by some of the
theories of the early Indologists. There has been so much garbage
published in the name of scholarship. This is another lesson for those
Indians who want to learn about their own religion, tradition, philosophy
etc. Try to learn in your own language, learn from elders and of
course,learn sanskrit and read the originals. You will not fall prey to
this type of rubbish. Every language has great books written about the
epics Ramayana and Mahabharata.-Sincerely, Narahari Achar
