BG 7.20: Those whose knowledge has been carried away by material desires surrender to the celestial gods. Following their own nature, they worship the devatās, practicing rituals meant to propitiate these celestial personalities.
Adi Shankaracharya travelled with other thinkers and philosophers of his time to propagate his philosophy through discourses and debates. He founded four mathas that helped him in the revival and spread of Advaita Vedanta. He asserted that Atman (soul, self) exists in Hinduism, while there is no soul, no self in Buddhism. He is believed to be the organiser of the Dashanami monastic order and unified the Shanmata tradition of worship. He is regarded as the Jagadguru, a title used in Sanatana Dharma meaning the Guru of the Universe.
Babaji Bob Kindler began his formal spiritual training in Yoga and Vedanta in 1970 at the age of twenty. After more than a decade of spiritual austerities and extensive study of the scriptures in Eastern Traditions, he received initiation into the Ramakrishna lineage by Swami Aseshananda, a direct disciple of Sri Sarada Devi, wife and spiritual consort of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. He also received guidance and instruction from Swami Nityasvarupananda, another direct disciple of Holy Mother, and training in ritualistic worship from Swami Damodarananda, both of the Ramakrishna Order as well.
As Spiritual Director of the independent SRV associations, formed in 1993, Babaji visits the centers approximately three times a year. He leads up to four retreats throughout the year at various locations and offers group pilgrimage to India every two or three years. These occasions give participants the opportunity to experience in greater depth the transformative and transcendent quality of non-dual Truth. The retreats integrate knowledge, devotion, meditation and selfless service through study of scripture, chanting, introspection, worship, and holy company. These spiritual disciplines, engaged in within the proximity of guru and sangha, bring purity of heart and clarity of mind. This allows aspiring beings who are living in the world to withdraw into solitude, experience sacred communion with their inner Self, and focus on Divine Reality. An accessible teacher, students and friends can easily maintain personal contact with Babaji through email, letters, phone calls, private meetings, satsangs (meetings with sangha and guru for informal spiritual discourse), classes, retreats and group excursions. He welcomes novices, members of other religious paths, and all sincere seekers at the SRV centers. Personal initiation into the SRV Association and individual guidance in spiritual life is offered to those who accept the universal teachings in accordance with Vedanta ideals represented by Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. 2b1af7f3a8
