It is a form of art - education. what is wrong in charging a fee for it? even the hindu 'wrishi's since the olden days, have been charging 'guru-dokshina'! I don't see anything "un-hindu" or "immoral" about it. It is much better than pocketing the public money in one's pocket, instead of providing clean water or building a road for others even if the road is not necessary for the big babus, but for the common people.
 
what say u, Umeshji?

Ignorance is there wherever you are. Even if I wasn't an NRI/NRA, I would be the same ignorant person in this regard, I believe. I don't think somebody would know more about Hinduism (or any other religion), just because they lived all their life in India.

well,
 
I'm in India--but I believe u have a namesake in USA --who is bringing a very bad name to a very Hindu product -Yoga - by charging licensing/franchisee fee --for something he teaches in the name of Yoga.
 
Similarly, what Dara Singh and Modi have allegedly been doing against people of other faiths can hardly bring glory to Hinduism. I do not care about Hindutva --perhaps a recent phenomenon --but I do care about my being a Hindu. And I wish that all Hindus , wherever they might be -in India or abroad --should have proper info about their faith-which is lacking to most NRIs (and/or NRAs)
