Formerly a personal assisant to the revered Indian Mahatma Chinmayanda (see description in Traditional teachers), James engages his Western audiences with a mixture of mirthful straight talk and clarity. His topic is the ancient wisdon of The Vedanta as taught over two thousand years ago through The Upanishads, The Brahma Sutras and The Bhagavad Gita.
Designed specifically for a Western audience, James clearly explains all of the principles of Advaita Vedanta. His approach is contemporary; James great gift is to approach his audience with images and examples they can immediately grasp and appreciate.
