"What is unfortunate about much of the New Age movement, and consequently leads to understandable skepticism about the unfounded claims of such people, is that they are grounded neither in ancient and authentic spiritual traditions, nor in a truly scientific and philosophical approach to reality. The undercurrent of New Age pop 'spirituality' is all too often nothing more than narcissistic self-centeredness, consumerism and wishful thinking. If one wants to truly know Truth, the prerequisite for this gift is self-surrender at the very feet of Truth with sincerity, humility, openness and yearning. To know Truth means to surrender to Truth. One must follow an ancient, authentic and authorized spiritual path designed and proven to help you transcend your false ego in order to know Truth. Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Natural Way, is just such a path. Anything less that such honest dedication is merely cheating ourselves in the name of spiritual attainment." - Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya
