“That openness to knowledge…has been a chief characteristic of
this culture…right from the days of the Vedas till today. Our spiritual
tradition has always encouraged the pursuit of knowledge.”
“The knowers of Brahman tell us there are 2 types of knowledge –
the para vidya, the apara vidya. And both are to be known”
“…the Gita’s special contribution…to the Vedanta philosophy is
this – the doctrine of the avatara. Strangely, the word ‘avatara’ is not used
in the Gita.”

the Gita Gyan Yagna held at Bangalore, India, from 2010-2012.)
