The Upanishadic knowledge this lady is expounding is the highest truth-knowledge available to humanity and part of it she is expounding well, but there is a deep and very fundamental flaw with her attitude. She is filled with a strong pride, a deep sense of superiority and subtle arrogance. Siting on her high untouchable guru-throne making "I-know-it-all"-jokes. One may be knowledgeable but so long one does not even realise that the foundation of all (non-dualistic) spirituality is egolesness, humility, love, self=abnegation, one cannot be a teacher. Arsha Vidya Pitham should be ashamed to let this lady under heir name operate in the public domain. The desire to be wise, all-knowing and above your disciples has nothing to do with spirituality, it is only very mistaken pseudo-spirituality. Besides her teaching becomes also weak because instead of focusing on the shastras or intrinsic knowledge she loses all hr time on her "look me being wise"-jokes. Very repulsive. She should go back to Vedic kindergarten. Spirituality without love does not exist. Take an example on e.g. swami Sarvapriyananda, who always remains egoless and loving. Sorry to submit such a comment. Bart
