News from Atlanta Georgia from Acharya Palaniswami
At the AIDS and Religion Conference

Quick Update: Two of the monastics, Acharya Palaniswami
and Yogi Yuganatha are away from Kauai on a trip to
Atlanta Georgia to attend the AIDS and Religion conference
being sponsored by the Ford Foundation which brought together
religion editors and speakers from across the US

Arrived safe and sound. Rested at last. Rev. Ken South came to our room to help us with tomorrowÕs program. He was truly honored we came all this way, and absolutely loves Hinduism Today. He has been reading it since 1993 when a Jain introduced him to it at the Chicago Parliament of World Religions. He says it is the first time in American history that so many religion editors have met together in one place, and feels it took AIDS and the Ford Foundation to make it happen. He calls it historic. Tomorrow (Saturday) it begins in the afternoon. They have provided a central place for us to display the magazine for all to take with them.

Until tomorrow, your monks and brothers on the road in the Deep South.

Acharya Palaniswami

Yogi Yuganatha
