Actually, all I did was post a quote from a Tibetan
teacher, on the occasion of looking around at the
plethora of "New Age" interests in Boulder and
commenting to his students that the extent of one's
interest in such things was, in his opinion, in
inverse proportion to the breadth of one's spiritual
experience. That is, the fewer real spiritual exper-
iences one has had in one's life, the more likely
one is to be attracted by New Age fantasies. And
the converse; the more real experience one has had,
the less likely one is to be interested in such
things.
If you feel that this extends to India and to Hindus,
that's your call. I don't think Trungpa ever said
anything about that, and I certainly didn't.
