Re: D.A.Joseph
Venkat K,
I saw several of the clips and really can't make out what his thoughts and ideas are about.
He is impressive in his quoting sanskrit verses. What puzzles me is his drift about how we can get rich materially by meditating ten minutes a day upon NarayaNA by focusing our minds on the physical form of our parents. I do not know if he continues to speak about RamanujA's life and philosophy after having said how rich he was and how people poured gold at his feet.
May be I have to see more clips to make up my mind.

Re: D.A.Joseph
Arasi has rightly sounded a word of caution.
I have seen and heard him in several hindu temple premises. He avoids worshipping in the main shrine and his forehead has always been barren.May be he is good in our puranas and interested in our philosophy as an abstract theoritical form but many would find it hard to take him as a guide in the propagation of Sanathana Dharma but world religion is a different thing.

He says that he wears Urdhva Pundram daily, using 'water' instead of 'Thiruman & Srichurnam' !Ponbhairavi wrote:... and his forehead has always been barren...
