Recent Travels

I just got back from Korea

While there I delivered a scholarly paper at the invitation of an Asan University, and then spent a day in meetings in Seorak

I did manage a bit of time with friends up the mountains

Just before that I was in Luxembourg and Slovakia (mostly for meetings and teaching)

 

Now I'm back preparing for the holidays, and trying to keep our projects moving forward

August, 2013 visit to India

I spent 10 days in India the beginning of August.

At first I presented a paper to the conference hosted by the Swami Narayan Sampraday at Akshardam in New Delhi

I then spent several days at the Radha Raman Temple Ashram in Vrindavan with Shri Shrivatsa Goswami and his family

I had a brief visit to a magnificent marble inlay gallery of Dinesh Chand Bansal near Mathura

Shrivatsa and I stopped at the tomb of Moghul emperor Akbar on the way back home

I briefly stopped at Gobind Sadan, founded by Baba Virsa Singh, to visit devotee and author Mary Pat Fischer

Here below are some images from my time

4th of July 2013

This year, to celebrate the 4th, Hiroko and I went for a lovely visit to Mamaroneck to enjoy time with friends, and a delicious and abundant day of food and drink.

We  trained  back south early enough to see the Macy's fireworks from the roof of our Sunnyside apartment building.

Those fireworks are so grand, that though they take place facing New Jersey from New York's West side, we see them from Queens

Adam Duritz and Counting Crows, Manhattan Center, NY, June 27, 2013

Saw Counting Crows last night. Met Adam Duritz after the show. A couple of crumby pictures from my phone.
