Käyttäjä:Baba Bom

Baba Bom, variedly described as international man of mystery, explorer of esoteric realms, and former devotee of obscure cults and movements. Spent years in India and beyond, exploring inner dimensions amidst Indic and Oriental traditions.

Research on Indic religion with focus on Hinduism since 1995, and on Buddhism and broader oriental tradition since 2007. Practice and field research in India for six years. Worked with Sanskrit, Bengali (and later Pali) source texts since 2002. Active online publishing on related themes since 2000, featuring hundreds of articles.

In an earlier incarnation, with an account now long gone and buried, I worked a bunch on themes related to Hinduism both in English and in Finnish. At present I tend to limit myself to occasional corrections, as I find the recurring and tedious edit wars wasting an abundance of time and energy that could be put to a more productive use.
