I have studied a bit about Hinduism during my study days. My question is you mentioned Krishna is the true form of God and you also mentioned about the authority of Vedas but I learnt that the Krishna is never mentioned in Vedas. Isn&#039;t it contradictory?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friend,</p><p>I went through all your article. Quiet impressive. I have studied a bit about Hinduism during my study days.

I am not that old... going by your photo on your blog, I am probably around the same age group as you.Nor am I a &#039;pundit&#039; as you have mentioned. I just got an early start on the spiritual path while I was studying engineering. And whatever little I know is by the mercy of my teachers and I have a very, very long way to go to internalize the full import of their teachings.We are brainwashed everyday by the colorful but misleading proponents of &#039;modern&#039; lifestyle and this is causing more damage than good to us, both physically and mentally.So all I am trying to do here is get people to understand what a wealth of knowledge and means for purposeful, peaceful existence they are missing on by ignoring our ancient legacy.Again, I implore you (and everyone reading this comment) to please give just one honest, sincere reading of the books I have linked to.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mahesh,</p><p>Please don&#8217;t call me &#8216;sir&#8217; and such.
