I have a personal thing with all the religiously dressed liars and
murderers.

His "ancient wisdom" is 500 years "ancient", since it dates from
Caitanya. This "ancient wisdom from India" thing is total bullshit, a
marketing trick to sell it to the naive westerners.

Not only the warrior class, it was common among the brahmanas, as

imposter who managed to misinterpret and distort everything he put his
hands on. So we're even.
