    more like he made the whole thing up. just like he made up the story about the two chicks that "witchcrafted" him. chances are he dated the both of them & they decided to dump him. in any case... first part of the book was cool. towards the end... wow. its like a hate speech against indians.

    the worst part of it is how farasiotis fabricated names to support his theories. he named a woman he met at the ashram 'prakash'. ok, anybody thats met an indian KNOWS that its a man's name. dionysios farasiotis' stories are suspect. something about him isn't right.

    we have an indian family @ my parish & the dad read the book. he thought it was racist, too. myself being non-white, feel this way as well. hawaii is a white minority state so anything that puts people of color in a bad light even in the slightest sense will be severely judged. so when the...
