[The Lion Roars]

Err.. ever heard of Hare Krishnas? And they're nice folks, shiny, happy people! Just like the bible thumpers knocking on your door.

Yes, I did hear of them? How many of these were converted to hinduism by indian monks thumping gitas? Was there a massive infusion of funds to convert americans to this cult? These people read about hinduism on their own and converted. Do you seriously believe that in the 60s these people could go to the bible belt and have the freedom to preach to christians? In fact in one incident an indian monk - Vivekanand - who tried this was stoned in Texas.

In contrast the british rule over india gave a strong foot hold to missionaries. To this day vast amounts of money are pumped into india with the sole purpose of defaming hinduism and destroying it.

Quite a few -- never heard of hippie colonies beign taught by "holy men" like Satya Sai Babe (a.k.a. Afro-hair style baba?)

Was there a massive infusion of funds to convert americans to this cult?

What cult? You're calling hinduism a cult? Why do you do that? Do you seriously think Hinduism is not deserving to be called a religion but you seem to think that Hinduism is on par with Scientology and just composed of mumbo-jumbo. Shame on you

These people read about hinduism on their own and converted.

Not all and not completely -- ever heard of the Maharishi? The same little gutter argument you make about Christian missionaries can be made abotu Hare Krishna missionaries -- neither coerces a person to join their religion, but just talks to people about it. But you, Lion Rar, say that Hinduism (in your words) is a cult, so do you call Christianity and Hinduism on par as cults?


To this day vast amounts of money are pumped into india with the sole purpose of defaming hinduism and destroying it.

ha. proof? Or are you just going to bring out a different version of the PRotocols of the Elders of Zion?
