Just because Ravi Ravi is Indian does not mean all Indians are good or bad. I don't want the US judged by Pat Robertson or any other born-again preacher fraud. Ravi Ravi is a scammer scammer but that says nothing else about any other Indian or Indian culture. It is very simple..when you wake up you leave the frauds behind. That is where Ravi Ravi belongs..in the past. If you chose to remain asleep and be a lemming (or zombie) for AoL,it is your choice regardless of your ethnic origin. Nice that Ravi Ravi says he "forgot" to bless the Twin Towers.

There are no harsher critics of "the Whites", as we have read ourselves called on this blog, than the kind of people who read this and similar blogs. We have no more to do with what the West has done than the untouchibles of India have to do with destruction of the Babri Masjid. <br /><br />She She and others like him are the symbols of your culture's dark side, as George Bush and Dick Cheny have recently been of ours. How silly it sounds now when Americans sound off about our great democratic system. How silly it sounds now when you take up for<br />Hindutvavadis. Who cares either way? Many of us as young people were deceived into believing a lot of nonsense about the greatness of the Vedic knowledge. Starting with Autobiography of a Yogi, lots of lies have been told to build up so called "spiritual organizations". The blame is being directed by a few at India itself or the notion of Hinduism, just as you have directed the blame for what corporations have done on ordinary US citizens.bettynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564480661548850441.post-31787259199405193562010-01-23T09:32:47.346-05:002010-01-23T09:32:47.346-05:00" What I would say to Anonymous above is the ..."

But comments like the above, which have started in the recent days indicate many more former AoLites need serious therapy. What I would say to Anonymous above is the you still do not know yourself, that was why you got trapped into AoL, and that is the reason for your current recoil into even more ignorance. Do not make this blog India vs America/West bashfest. Hindutvavadis have a long way to go in matching the crimes of the west. Just take a look at our beloved America's doings all over the world in pursuit of even more materialistic wealth. Look at the thieving merciless corporations which your culture has generated. If AoL has abused you, do something constructive like KLIM is doing, there are a billion+ indians with much wider standard deviation in their tastes, manners, knowledge and ethics, than your comprehension ability.

Meaning 'Go tell them that Guruji(the the great great sri sri) is with them'<br />All I could think was how insensitive. There is this national calamity and thousands need food,shelter and clothing. And this megalomaniac wants to convey that he is with them. As if it matters. What matters is how much you can help in the ground. He has this saviour fantasy where he goes and saves the people through his teachings. <br />The amount of planning and coordination required for such relief work is enormous and AOL has no clue and neither do they bother to do the dirty work.
