And she said of Guru Dev that his "very existence was almost unknown outside of a small group of his followers." I guess Sal's view is that anything to do with India must be small and mean and insignificant. One of India's largest cities is a "remote hideaway"; one of the Big Four of Hinduism had only a "small group" of followers. Seems like as far as Sal's concerned, it's gotta be Amurrican to have any importance. Also according to Sal, Guru Dev committed suicide, and hardly anybody noticed when he died.
