"I see. So you spent your career as an administrator?" I noticed a gap of information between his becoming a government officer and then retiring.

"So you were a Hindi officer in the Ministry of Education. That was your career?"

"Yes, after the government I went to Nairobi. I worked in the religious seminary there and for four years I was Professor of Hinduism at St. Paul’s Theological College where people are trained to become Catholic priests. I taught them Hinduism."

"That’s wonderful. Wonderful. And then after four years at Nairobi . . . ?"

"Four years there and then a lecture tour. I went to Canada, to England. I spoke on Hinduism and gave lectures in English and Hindi and Sanskrit. And then we had a very good interfaith conference in Pietermaritzburg in South Africa. That is the capital of Natal. Then later we had interfaith conferences in Canada, and now in Los Angeles."
