It may bear noting, for those not familiar with the London Sanskrit scene, that the St James school was founded by members of, and with organisational backing from the School of Economic Science (not the London School of Economics). The SES has roots in the thinking of Henry George and G. I. Ouspensky, but was influenced from the 1960s by Śāntānanda Sarasvatī, Śaṅkarācārya of Jyotirmath. Hence the Sanskrit. See the historical sketch on the SES's website and the SES's own statement in answer to some of its critics. In 2005, the St James school was the subject of a formal enquiry relating to its disciplinary practices.
