Dear OT2,
It seems that you know a lot about them himdues. What about Paramahansa Yogananda? This is the person whose name I misspelled and later corrected thanks to your note. When I say that I believe he is the person who brought all of those ideas, together with the undermining of Christianity, I meant that exactly. I didn't say Krishnamurti, or the founder of TM, or anybody else. I said that several times. It is you who keep mentioning all of these people as if somebody, other than you, had done it. Again, I am and was talking about the author of a book "Autobriography of a Yogi", whose name is Paramahansa Yogananda. And I am not alone in thinking this, but since it serves no purpose other than dulling the image of an otherwise christian country, it never gets the attention it deserves. It is alright with me, because even though I consider myself Christian, I do not consider myself a member of that same christian church.
You can see in your paragraph names that I never mentioned, and wouldn't even recognize due to my own ignorance in the subject.
"AND, TM's founder was NOT the first to bring Hinduism to the West, not by a long shot. California had a LOT of gurus before him; paving the way. Prabupada brought theh Hare Krishnas here first, in New York."
