Neo-Advaita, also called the Satsang-movement as alive as Nondualism, is the New Religious Movement, emphasizing the direct recognition of the non-existence of the "I" or "ego," without the need of preparatory practice. Its teachings are derived from, but not authorised by, the teachings of the 20th century sage Ramana Maharshi, as interpreted in addition to popularized by H. W. L. Poonja and several of his western students.
It is part of a larger religious current called immediatism by Arthur Versluis, which has its roots in both western and eastern spirituality. Western influences are western esoteric traditions like Transcendentalism, and "New Age millennialism, self-empowerment and self-therapy".
Neo-Advaita authorises little use of the "traditional Linguistic communication or cultural structures of Advaita Vedanta", and some clear criticised it for its lack of preparatory training, and regard enlightenment-experiences induced by Neo-Advaita as superficial.
