Most Hindu websites focus on either South Indian practices, or West Indian practices and some may focus on North Indian Hindu culture. However, Hindu culture of Eastern Indian and North-eastern India is not talked about enough.
We should remember that before the Islamization of eastern British India, places like Pundravardhana (northern Bengal) and Kamarupa (Assam) were important seats of Vedic learning. Today Pundravardhana is no more a Vedic seat of learning, being a part of Islamic Bangladesh, while Assam is slowly on its way to Jihadification. However, the religion and culture continues to exist on the lives of people.
The Advaitist will also talk about Hindu Culture as has been prevalent in West Bengal, Islamic Bangladesh, Tripura, Assam, Manipur and Meghalaya.

Reason #5 to read The Advaitist
Tantra pervades all aspects of our life. Yet we either misunderstand or have very poor idea of what Tantra Shastra is.
For example, Puja or daily worship is a Tantric concept, as opposed to Yagya which is a Vedic concept. Yet many ignorant people deride Tantras.
The Advaitist will talk about Tantra, Mantra Shastra, Darshana and other philosophical aspects of Hinduism starting from Nasadiya Sukta of Rig Veda to Navya Nyaya of Bengal.
Therefore
The Advaitist is a website on Hinduism focusing mainly on unexplored facets of Hinduism.
