On this sunday, we met Mrs. Yamuna Naik (at Balbhim Mandir, Bhandarkar road area, Pune). She is 90 years young, and is one of the key proponent of Advaita knowledge. In the unforgettable meeting she explained the complete structure of existence. The two hour talk was complete with seriousness as well as humour. And while we struggled to sit for that duration (on the floor, cross legged), she was completely attentive, and later on remarked that she is not body at all, and body simply "does what it is told to do" - i.e. to just sit there, not disturbing the speech.

Of course, I need to write about the talk itself in detail!
