Biographical Info
I am the Carl W. Zeigler Professor of Religion, Philosophy, and Asian Studies at Elizabethtown College, in Pennsylvania. I have been practicing Hinduism throughout my adult life and am adherent of the Vedanta tradition of Sri Ramakrishna, the Holy Mother Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda.
