   Well ... there's the "Beatles" period - where the religion
   was 'adapted' for western consumption.

   On some shelf I've got a kinda 'Krishna' tome by a
   swami from the 60s.

   IMHO, like with Chinese theology, if you weren't raised,
   saturated, in it then you're never REALLY gonna 'get it'.
   Religions and cultures are usually tightly-entwined.

   Still, the Parent/Child/Sub-Child aspect of Hindu IS
   kinda interesting.
