Questioner: Sir, thank you for taking up my invitation to meet. I really appreciate it. I know you don’t do a lot of this and I really had to talk to you, so thank you.
Acharya Prashant: Welcome.
Questioner: As you know I was in the US for last twenty years. I came back about a year ago. I was in Rishikesh, that’s where I came across your myth demolition tour, I have been following you since then and I have just been stuck in India since then. I thought I would go back in one month, then two months, then six months and nine months, now one year and now it’s more than one year.
So, I have just been over here and there have been lots of experiences over here and that are so different from what I experienced in the US. Things are so different. People are different. It’s even different from twenty years before when I was here. I know you don’t do talks on particular topics but there are some events that have happened that just play on my mind and I know you like keeping discussions open ended but is it okay if I bring up some of these more personal issues?
