There are no "Neo-Advaitans" on this list. There are at least three Advaita proponents, so far as I can tell. In the Upanishads, there are Shankara and his guru Gaudapada to support the Advaita tradition and Advaitans include the whole host of Advaitins after Shankara up to and including the Ramana Maharshi.
Excerpt from Mandukya Karika IV by Gaudapada: "Duality is only an appearance; non-duality is the real truth. The object exists as an object for the knowing subject; but it does not exist outside of consciousness because the distinction of subject and object is within consciousness." (IV 25-27) Sharma, p. 245-246. ---In [email protected], <s3raphita@...> wrote : Re "A claimant to Enlightenment, but I doubt it": I share your scepticism but maybe these Neo-Advaitans really are on to something and there's a presence in the air that is leading to a gradual awakening. I certainly hope so. This new crop of non-dualists don't come across as vicious or pretentious or victims of cult mentality. I've yet to come across one who has recanted his or her previous insight. The jury is till out. ---In [email protected], <yifuxero@...> wrote : Another "Advaitin" like most of the Batgappers. (a claimant to Enlightenment, but I doubt it) Says that his main approach was "neti neti" but the last stage of his quest was inspired by a frog that he saw while climbing Mt.
