Comments of participants :
'What made the difference for me was Surya's ability to weave in elements and examples of contemporary life in order to make the messages of these teachings come alive for us. It made it easy to relate to what he was saying. I also appreciated the secular tone of the conversation, one that was underscored by a spiritual rather than religious approach.'
'Surya's instructional technique, if I may call it that, was a process in which each of us could immediately perceive ourselves in a particular setting and then go through a process of logical and realistic self-discovery. What appealed to me was that the links to Vedanta were established through simple and lucid explanations. They did pose challenges to the intellect and dared the individual to explore unfamiliar lines of thought and conceptual reasoning. It speaks volumes for the experience and knowledge base of Neema and Surya that they are able to initiate the layperson into the wisdom of Vedanta through such a relaxed and stress-free approach.'
