Title: A very poor and unscholarly treatment of the Great saint
Product review: This book by Jeff Kripal smacks of ignorance. What can be the credibility of conclusions formed by a person who was in Bengal for eight months [the period during which he researched for his 'magnum opus'] and claims that all his conclusions are based upon the original bengali work without knowing a single word of bengali to begin with? Even at the end of those eight months, he could hardly speak Bengali. One can't understand how has the author arrived at these conclusions.
