i dont understand why gullible people are making a big fuss about this guy hart.
i have an advantage: i have actually met this fellow while i was on a train from trivandrum to calicut. i chatted with him for a while. it's not at all impossible that he is a 'mole'. for instance, his associates run the 'satya veda institute' in kerala somewhere, which, no prizes for guessing, is a bible study entity. a truthful name would be 'asatya durveda'.
i harangued the guy about the fact of the non-arrival of 'saint' thomas in india. he was amazed that i knew so much about his religion. i told him i made it my business to know about it 'because it is an important religion'. damning with faint praise, you see.
his book -- he gave me his card and a blurb for the book -- seemed to have on its cover a christist image, a buddhist image, and a mohammedan image, but no hindu image. that gave me an inkling on how much importance he gave to hinduism.
there have been others who claimed to be close to hinduism but they were fifth columnists, for instance:
a) bede -- who set up a christist 'ashram' somewhere in tamil nadu
b) de nobili -- who claimed he was a 'brahmin' and went around in saffron clothes attempting to subvert the brahmins of madurai almost 200 years ago
c) sarah caldwell -- she was welcomed into a devi sect in kerala; she later wrote about them in demeaning terms
d) jeffrey kripal -- another of 'wendy's children' who was given a lot of support by the ramakrishna mission, and he later turned around and humiliated them
i suspect hart is yet another 'harvester' of hindu ideas. i may be being unfair to him, but it's best to be suspicious of these characters until proven innocent.
also, note that the news article is by 'sangeeth kurian', this is a stealth christist. since most of the readers dont know that 'kurian' is a christist name, they will be taken in by the hindu first name. christists in kerala, who used to go around with names like john and thomas, all of a sudden in the 1970s switched to giving their children hindu first names (for stealth purposes) while retaining their christist last names which would be obvious only to their own. names like manoj mathen and shobha anthraper only keralites would know were christists. the fact that this happened practically overnight shows it was a deliberate, planned thing -- just like practically overnight
a) all christist churches in kerala covered their walls with propaganda material from their books -- much like selling soap and other such consumer goods
b) all chrisist churches in south india started sporting giant red neon crosses (freudian slip suggesting these were red-light districts, maybe, given the many assaults and rapes that happen between the 'holy fathers' and their flock?
