When I chanced upon this newsgroup a while back, I thought I
found a forum for people interested in exchanging ideas and
experiences with Hinduism. Little did I realize until recently
that what is Hinduism to a lot of active "posters" is the
upholding of their traditional opinions. I do agree that once
in a while, there are articles of more disinterested nature.
But more often than not, what I am reading is whether
Prabhupada is more qualified than Mr.X, or whether Vivekananda
is more crdible than someoneelse or whether the Advaitist
interprettaion of some text is more prone to bias than the
Vaishnavite one, etc etc etc etc
Looks more like soc.hindu.rhetoric to me. But of course, I
could be wrong, or I could be right.
I'd like to know however, how and why it matters who is right
and who is wrong as long as you haven't seen God/Brahman/Krishna/Om
face to face.
