Really
fantastic discussion going on here! Just wanted to say that it made my heart
sing, especially some of the ideas posted by Govind.

It
would be splendid if Govind would oblige us by distilling his insights into an
article.

1)
One of the reasons other religious people shun or modify Yoga is because they
are repelled by the prospect of worshiping "pagan" Hindu Gods. The
book could explain that Gods are not Hindu; they are cosmic powers which always
existed even before sages in India
discovered them just as gravity existed before Newton
2) The caste system is a gross distortion of the original intent of division based on personalities. RYD has covered it here on the Mirror and here as well

I
think this is a very important point but I would say rather that the God of
Jesus is different from the god that is today worshiped in his name.
The Theme of Cross in Savitri (6) from Savitri by admin
The
true aim, the true realisation is the unfolding of the Brahman, its
self-manifestation, the visible diffusion of the Power of the Divine, the Lila
of His Knowledge and Ananda, not in a few great souls, but in everybody in the
nation and the entire humanity. We see the first form and stage of this
knowledge and this sadhana in the Rigveda, the earliest characters inscribed on
the Stupa near the entrance to the temple of the Aryan dharma at the beginning
of history. We cannot say with certainty that it finds expression for the
first time in the Rigveda, because even the Rishis of the Rigveda admit that
those who were before them, the early ancestors of the Aryan race, ‘the
primeval fathers of the human race’, had discovered this path of truth and
immortality for the later man.
They
also say that the new Rishis were only following the path which had been shown
to them by the ancient Rishis. We find that the mantra of the Rigveda is
the echo of the words of the ‘fathers’, of the Divine speech they uttered;
consequently, the form of the dharma that we see in the Rigveda can be said to
be its earliest form… We find that
effort in the Gita, the Tantras and the Puranas; each of them has been
successful to a certain extent; many new experiences have been gained but no
longer do we find in them the comprehensiveness of the Vedas and the
Upanishads. WRITINGS IN BENGALI TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH
