Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Anyone here from the Chicago, IL USA area? New to site and am only familiar with the teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. Would like to study Advaita Vedanta with a teacher or advanced student. Anyone here whose posts I should be reading as a relatively new student to Advaita?

Also take a look at anything you can written by Dennis Waite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Douglas - PraNAms There is a chinmaya Mission in Chicago - you can get info from google. They have vedanta classes and study groups at many places around Chicago, if your are interested. There is one Mr. Shankar Pillai whom you can contact. Hari Om!

Doug Doug - I am that - book is not something to read - as you read you have to see the truth - I am that -it is a book of contemplation and seeing the truth as you read. If you are into it you can go beyond a page there. Hope this helps. Hari Om! Sadananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
