I have corresponded with Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami from the
Kauai's Hindu Monastery (whom I found on the Web). He sent me a
package of information on the Saivite path of Hinduism. He invited me
to participate in a correspondence course on Hinduism (which he refers
to as Hindu 'catechism').
Does anyone know if this is a reputable source of information on
Hinduism? Is he legitimate? There were several requests for monetary
donations in the information package, which made me wary.
One thing that troubled me in particular was a photo of Satguru Sivaya
Subramuniyaswami standing on the skin of a dead tiger. Ahimsa is a
value that I hold very dear and I was startled and dismayed to see
someone represented as a hindu teacher standing on the fur of a
creature that was not only dead but also endagered. Does anyone have
any explanation for that?
Also, if anyone can recommend web sites, books (available in USA), or
any other sources of information, I would deeply appreciate it.
You can respond to bubastis@mindspring.com. Thank you!
