But I was a little expectant that the linkage between mythology and ecology would be explored. I have been trying to understand the link between the Lepcha's faith in Kanghchendzonga and his sense of each mountain and each lake at its base being treated as sacrosanct, almost like a "garbhgriha" or sanctum sanctorum, the "womb-home".

There is also a linkage between the Lepcha language structure and their sense of ecological scientific thinking, but to me it remains unexplored.

With all due respect for this project's erudition and commitment to correct knowledge, this is an area that needs special attention -- this ecology-mythology linkage, and I am hoping someday you shall give a fabulous article on that.

My restects.
