Summary: Some people have all the Lucknow... :)
Review: Awesome work...and I hope Marvelly will consider a sequel including even more teachers (Stephen Jourdain? Byron Katie? Neelam?), although this is a great representative sampling. Not only are the interviews with these modern-day Advaitins at once engaging and penetrating, but Marvelly's chronicling of her own "walk on the path" of nondual understanding is thoughtful and touching, and deeply personal in a way I very much appreciate and relate to. The interview with Pamela Wilson especially is like sitting with her in satsang; marvelously vivid. This is must reading for anyone interested in timeless wisdom and spiritual self-reliance.

Summary: Welcome contribution
Review: In this book Paula Marvelly interviews fifteen contemporary teachers of Advaita. Each teacher has a slightly different (occasionally contradictory) take on the teaching, which makes for very rich reading. This is accompanied by Paula's own sparse but valuable commentary in which she is not afraid to expose her own vulnerability and frustration as a seeker.In all, this is a welcome contribution to the glut of Advaita books available at the moment, giving just about the right amount of each teachers perspective without too much waffle. I look forward to a volume two!

Summary: inspiring
Review: It is inspiring for a lot of seekers to see how Paula is examining the Advaita scene. Some of the interviews are very interesting, some parts of them are personalising the whole enlightnment issue a bit. Recommanded. Jan Kersschot, author of "Nobody Home"
