The ACHARYA SHREE YOGEESH PodcastEp. 17 - The Benefits of Studying Under an Enlightened MasterAcharya Shree Yogeesh beautifully explains the reasons why its important to learn directly from an enlightened one as often times teachings will be missed from books, videos, and podcasts - the presence, energy, and aliveness are missing.

Acharya Shree also explains that there is a "spiritual" non-violence and "gross" non-violence, where one applies to the soul and the other...
