The state of affairs in other Countries, which claim to be more highly advanced and progressive, is much worse. There it is stated that no man or woman approaches Marriage as a virgin. This is the direct result of provocative publicity. The case of the male is perhaps worse, for he boasts he cannot even recollect the number or wild oats he has sown and which is considered as a Passport to manhood (sic). Others again have disgraced their humanity in disgusting unnatural offences, which they are now trying to make their Governments legalise, and finally others again are subject to the Oedipus complex.

Additional quotes by Peter de Noronha

The substance of the teaching of the "Gita" is contained in Chapter XI Ver. 55, which translated reads: "

looks upon Me as his goal,
he who worships me, free from
attachment, he who is free
from enmity to all creatures, he goes to me."

This reminds one of the story of two eminent surgeons who were leaving the operation room, and one turned to the other and said, 'That was a close one, one inch either way and I would have been out of my speciality."
