Will Tex, There is no end to Vaj's bs. Why don't you just ask for validating proof - as in tradition, text and translation and page? Just allowing him to name some Sanskrit texts allows him to keep up the bs.
Vaj is no Sanskrit pandita - remember how he added his own words into direct quotes? After being challeged on it he just waited a week or so and then continued with the same jilted quote. Vaj is an intellectual scammer. Don't let him slide. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradh...@...> wrote: > > > On May 29, 2009, at 12:46 PM, Richard J.
