The book is based on non-existent quotes, mistranslations, deliberate distortions, cultural insensitivity. Here is an online review of the book http://www.infinityfoundation.com/ECITkalichildframeset.htm The author has confessed himself that he fled a Benedictine chapel after some fellow monks made sexual advances at him. The book is, therefore, a projection of the author's own homophobia. Jeffrey is a pretender. While he harps that he referred to the 'original' Bengali sources, the fact is that he cannot even read Bengali without the help of a English-Bengali dictionary. I am quite surprised so many worthies in South Asia studies spoke of this book in such glowing terms- apparently a manifestation of nepotism prevailing in the American Academy of Religion.
