His "Kali-pooja" made me and my acharya to laugh :-)). Just see how he

"translates" names of Kalika such as li~NgAbhidhAyinI,

svayambhUpuShpanilayA or bhagali~NgarasapriyA :-))))))

 

But yes, he is not the only person to do so. What i cannot understand

why he does this being himself a westerner and residing in US. It is

understandable when Sachchhidananda Ganapati keeps his vamachara

sectret or Shivananda pretends as if there's no such a thing in tantra

as 5M. India is dirty in this sense, it is dangerous to speak some

things openly :-(. But why same hypocritic behaviour in West...
