Mr. Cookson, is an unapologetic Hindu and strong advocate for spreading Hindu dharma. He believes Hinduism is facing a crisis similar to that faced by European Paganism at the end of the classical age. The Abrahamic faiths are investing a lot of energy into converting Hindus to Christianity and Islam particularly in India and Hindus must fight fire with fire and actively spread their religion as well to the four corners of the globe. At the same time he believes America is going through a spiritual rebirth and awakening and could benefit greatly from Hinduism.view less
