"""The central idea of a multifaceted braham in Sankara's thought is original and will be well received."" - Frederick Smith, coeditor of Modern and Global Ayurveda: Pluralism and Paradigms ""The author's detailed descriptions of the actual pedagogical practices of contemporary Brahmin training is a welcome contribution. One gets a real sense of the teacher-student relationship from this book."" - Andrew O. Fort, author of Jivanmukti in Transformation: Embodied Liberation in Advaita and Neo-Vedanta ""[Dubois] captures the sounds, sights, and tastes of India's Brahmin schools and centers of study, conveying a sense of what he calls the 'hidden lives' of young people who later emerge to carry on the tradition of advaita vedanta. In elegant, descriptive language, Dubois evokes the mood and energy of the daily life followed by these young men as they prepare for highly specialized careers."" - from the Foreword by Christopher Key Chapple"
