---Nis. Maharaj yes, ; Ramana somewhat only since he's a devotee of Arunachala Shiva. I know the difference. A Neo-Advaitin (among other "things" is a person who takes an exclusionary position in One aspect of Brahman, the static; while ignoring the dynamic aspect, and spouting a POV that knowledge of the Self alone - Gnosis - is sufficient remedy for all problems...; and byw, WHO is asking or stating RM and NIS are NOT Neo-Advaitins? See how utterly ridiculous this gets? Your're a nobody, the world is nothing, and there's no karma, no suffering, no individuals, nothing. You don't exist! Just the Self. What rubbish!
