LOL, and I'm telling you: There's none of it, in it.

A simple Gita verse clears the matter:

 

 

Yet not by Vedas, nor from sacrifice,

Nor penance, nor gift-giving, nor with prayer

Shall any so behold, as thou hast seen!

Only by fullest service, perfect faith,

And uttermost surrender am I known

And seen, and entered into, Indian Prince!

Who doeth all for Me; who findeth Me

In all; adoreth always; loveth all

Which I have made, and Me, for Love’s sole end,

That man, Arjuna! unto Me doth wend.

- Bhagavad Gita, Ch: XI, Lines 335 - 344.

You quote ONE verse from the Gita.

So what?

What did the Thuggees themselves quote to justify their behaviour?

What is the counter-argument to their usage?

Who within Hindu-ism is the arbiter?

Cheers!
