I was wrong again. About this:
It was not ISKCON that Rajiv Malhotra counts in his list, but Deepak Chopra:
Though the most ... memorable bit in the very same article that the quoteblock above was stolen from was where Malhotra asked - and proceeded to lecture about - whether "Tantra" is a part of "Hinduism".
[Even when I first read it, I almost expected his next questions to be "Are Hindu Gods a part of Hindu religion?" and "Are the Vedas a part of Hindu religion?" etc. Well, ya never know with some people.]
Unrepresentative.
Quote:Buddhist Vipassana + ISKCON + and was it Transcendental Levitation/Meditation/whatever +
It was not ISKCON that Rajiv Malhotra counts in his list, but Deepak Chopra:
Quote:I (Rajeev Malhotra) had previously learned and practiced meditation techniques from multiple sources for over 30 years, including: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Yogi Amrit Desai (who certified me as a teacher), Deepak Chopra, Vipassana, and more.Not even going to find out who this "Amrit Desai" person could be, considering the rest in the list.
