The author is a stupid sleazy American girl who probably wrote this while being done in her erotic fantasies. This girl doesn't even know Sanskrit. You won't believe what they popularize in west on Vedic granths. The author makes Veda into asex book with her stupid interpretation on the name of creative freedom.

Her deep hatred for India is again visible here when she interprets vedic rhymes as mumbo jumbo of drunk tribals after drinking the hallucinogenic drink Soma. Not to be outdone, she has...
