Barny,
Thank you for all your quotes on AYurveda, but you completely missed my point. I did not say that Ayurveda presents atheism. How could it ? It was given first given by Lord Krsna as excerpts from the Rg and Atharva Veda, which emanated from Lord Vishnu through Brahmaji, then Prajapati Daksa, the Asvin Kumaras, Indra, etc.... It is a pure teaching. MY POINT, if you go back and read again, is that the most popular proponents of Ayurveda in the West, make no reference to the spiritual aspect of Ayurveda, neither do they give any credit to Lord Krsna for it. It's just like the way the Maharishi made a big businees out of so called meditation by selling mantras to people, and made it a very impersonal thing. There is no confusion in my article.I support everything that you are saying, you just missed my point that the philosophy of Ayurveda today is not being represented properly by the popular teachers. They have been too much influenced by Sankaracarya, and the SHankarite way of seeing things, that's all. Gaura dasa
