Namaskar KRS,

Thank you for your information! I definitely want the pure Shankara Advaita the mathas teach. I approached a swami within the Chinmaya Mission about what is required to become his shishya. He said to keep doing the sadhana I was doing and the sadhana would tell me what to do on its own, in time. Now that you have mentioned the different strains of Advaita, maybe the Chinmaya Mission isn't the way for me to go, anyway.

I do have the book "Essentials of Advaita Vedanta" by Swami Bhaskarananda. I haven't started reading it yet as I am currently reading "Purna Vidya (A Vision of Hindu Dharma)" at the moment. Well, I'm technically reading three books at once. I normally read three or four at once. Surprisingly, I keep them straight.

I thank you all for your help in this matter.

Pranams,

Justin
