[Advaita-l] Chakilam Venkatesh - Controversy???

[Swagata Chowdhury]

I do not believe he is actually associated with *Aham Brahmāsmi*. However,
that organization tends to invite people rather freely—much like Indica.
Indica has, on multiple occasions, invited certain fraudulent individuals
to their programs. Later, some scholars sent them an email, they confirmed
that they would no longer invite him.

In my opinion, it is preferable to invite only those with a genuine
Sanskrit background—whether academic or traditional. And if someone is from
a different field, they should at least have strong recommendations from
respected Sanskrit scholars.
