thank you, Nick

<<There is a book called "Virtue, Success, Pleasure, and Liberation: The

Four

Aims of Life in the Tradition of Ancient India" where the author Alain

Daneilou tries to argue (unconvincingly) in favor of female infanticide

(pages 97-98). He lived in India for something like 20 years and converted

to Hinduism. However, he did write a great scholarly book on the gods and

goddesses of India ("The Myths and Gods of India") and very complete

translation of the sex sutras ("The Complete Kama Sutra: The First

Unabridged

Modern Translation of the Classic Indian Text by Vatsyayana" including the

Jayamangala commentary from the Sanskrit by Yashodhara and extracts from the

Hindi commentary by Devadatta Shastra). ==- Jai Ma=-=- Nick >>>

 

Thank you so much, Nick, for posting a brief summary of information, and

where

we can get it if we're interested in the subject. This is how I prefer

non-Amma

posts in this group - rather than incredibly long articles that I have to

scroll

through to get to more Amma-related posts. You are thoughtful, Nick.

Blessings,

Achintya
