Curtis read the little book 'years before he started TM' and only an idiot wouldn't be knowing anything about Hinduism before joining a Hindu cult and trying to spread Vedic religion around the planet. NOW Curtis wnats to puke, after what, fifty years of telling fibs all the country about the Vedic religion? Come on, Curtis, do you think we're all idiots too?
You and Turq need to get a grip! Marshy wasn't talking about the corrupted caste system they have in India today - he was talking about the ideal system of the division of labor during the Gupta Age. How many times do you have to be told that the Indian system of Varnashramadharma is NOT based on skin color? South Asia has always been a mix of Caucasians, Dravidians, and Micronesians. You two are insulting our intelligence. Nobody here or in India, not the Marshy or SBS have been promoting racism. Not Gandhi, Ramakrishna, Ramana, Vivekananda nor Yoganananda, Krishnamurti or anyone else that I know of. You two need shut the fuck up!
