| Ananda Answers -My Separation from SRF (8017 words) |
 | SRFs is a missionary work, in the sense that it sends out ministers to lecture, mails lessons to students around the world, and seeks to acquaint people with its teachings. |
 | SRF, despite its missionary activities, resembles a cloistered order in the sense that the prevailing mood, or mind-set, at its center is one of withdrawal from the world. |
 | Emphasis in the SRF monasteries is placed on surrendering personal will to ones superior, as though projecting onto him (or her) ones own sense of selfhood. |
