I am a Humanities professor at a small college in the midwest who specializes in Religious traditions. Hinduism is my primary area of focus, though the Eastern religions are my specialty.
(However, I am well-versed in just about everything else out there too.) XD
I study Japanese and Sanskrit and have a profound interest in the esoteric and occult traditions (both East and West). I Look forward to a lot of interesting discussions.
