i find it offensive and my hindu family most definitely would be insulted at this. it is finding a way to make money off something that should not be connected to money. sprituality is not materialism or commercialism. it just would not happen in countries where religion is practiced as the root religion such as india or at a time when the pagan religions developed even. well thats what i feel and i feel it strongly.
