While in India serving the cause of restoring Her culture, Jeffrey connects with and learns from the scholars, touches the feet of holy persons, savours the wonderful food (especially home cooked meals), raids bookstores and libraries to unearth more jewels of sacred lore, and basks in the profound culture surrounded by the millions of humble and caring souls who populate every corner of Mother India. The Times of India said of him in a well-known article, "He looks like a typical American until he opens his mouth."
