(from "The Goddess and the Guru"):
By the early 2000s, when Jana would describe Guruji as a powerful Tantric adept, “people would no longer understand what I was talking about,” he said. “A lot of them found him to be mostly involved with his website and various computer issues—one of them told me that he seemed more like an IT guy than a spiritual teacher!”
Guruji was singularly unconcerned about any social impressions he might be making; he preferred to remain totally immersed in his work. His talks, writings and animations were regularly posted online for free, consistently offering some of the most accurate, detailed and authentic explanations of Sri Vidya available anywhere. Those “who were meant to see” these documents (as Guruji liked to express it) would download, copy and share them—some of these individuals, Guruji would add with a chuckle, “might even read them.” His job was simply to make the information available—the rest, he insisted, was up to the Goddess.
“Guruji’s attention was always focused on whatever engaged him,” Alok said. “And at that point in time, what engaged him was multimedia, technology, Internet learning and so on. So many disciples who were interested in sitting with him to do pujas and homas often would not find that satisfaction in those days, because Guruji would much rather spend his time explaining via a PowerPoint or sitting in front of a computer.”
