Guest guest Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Dear List I am visiting Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore over the next two weeks. One of the reasons for the trip is to link up with academics who can help us run the MA course in Contemporary Hinduism we are setting up jointly with the London Metropolitan University. If you know of any academics I should meet in these cities please let me have their contact details. Elly has kindly agreed to moderate our group for the next two weeks. With the help of our volunteer force: Vikas, Amit, Arun and Abhinay we have managed to make both our websites accessible to all browsers.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Chicago Wednesday February 14, 2007 Om RamaKrishna Jay, I pray to the Holy Trio for the success of your educational project on Hinduism.
