Resources

NARN does not promote any particular:
spiritual path

teacher

healing technique

 

for overcoming Neo-Advaita- though I do have some suggestions.

Also, NARN does not promote Nonduality as a spiritual path. NARN promotes awareness of the difference between Neo-Advaita and Actual Nonduality.

For those who are interested, I do offer suggestions for traditional Nondual teachers. 



Listed below are some resources that may be useful for you in your journey of overcoming Neo-Advaita.

Listed below are Gurus, Teachers and Mentors on the Nondual Path I have respect for.
You must do you DUE diligence and investigate if:
what they are teaching is in alignment with The Dharmic Scriptures
They are walking their talk
If they are a match for you

 

I obviously believe they are- but I am just a fallible human being- you need to investigate for yourself!
