Narrative Conventions in Myth: The Cave of the Magic Ring

[Dabeydoo62]

why do so many westerners equate hinduism to eroticism? why are they interpreting things incorrectly?

Dear Professor Doniger:

I did appreciate very much your teaching, and your learned lecture.

I hope your can be capable in ignoring some of the umpolited opinions of people that did not show any understanding at all of History of Religions as Professor Eliade pointed us.

Wendy Doinger is the most terrible, ridiculous translator, editor, writer I have ever come across in my life.

I don't understand what kind of moron would give someone pathetically incompetent like her the permission to edit and write about Indian Historical texts and destroy the authenticity of them.

Majority of her work on Christianity and India are completely biased and false.

[SciFi2495]

"fraud and shameless"? "whore"? She "does not know anything about hinduism[sic]" because you disagree with one or two interpretations in her latest book? There is a proper way to dialogue your disagreements, and the ad hominem attacks only show your unoriginal conclusion-jumping and shallowness of dialogue in these issues.

Her brilliance and love of Hinduism is apparent for anyone (myself) who also knows Sanskrit and Devanagari-derived scripts and is a Hindu.

BTW, what is "tunished[sic]"?

[slowbike1]

Why is everyone hating this? Is this because she's an original and brilliant scholar who doesn't buy into the English colonial revisionism of "hinduism" (which, by the way, is an artificial blanket term for indian thought). She's putting back life and vitality (which all u dorkos seem to lack) into this stuff...get out of your stuffy boxes, everyone!!!

Wendy Doniger is highly paid whore is only job is to bring negative , speculative sexually infested twisted throught to disperge Hindu Religion at the behest of the Hardline Christians who never able to come close in superior intellect of Hindu civilization Her job was given to target each Hindu greatest religious epic and disperge &, humiliate them so that the roaring popularity of yoga and the soritual /philosophical influence of The Bhagwat Gita can be tunished. She is a fraud and shameless.

Wendy Doniger writes about Hindus/Hindusm like Adolf wrote about Jews and Judaism.

I liked Doniger's Rig compression. I am grateful for what she says about Cliches here. This analysis isn't working for me, though.
