Stealing only the appealing bits of Hinduism shows both a lack of respect for the other, and far too high a regard for one's own tradition as the bestest framework for the stolen bits.

Not seein it. Done with full respect for both cultures the "syncretization" works beautifully. Talkin only about the 60's counter-culture, NOT new-age, which is not comparable. Completely different kinds of drugs man.
