| Occupation | Retired Professor |
| Location | Beavercreek, Ohio, United States |
| Introduction | Professor of Philosophy and Religion Emeritus, Antioch College. B.A. and M.A. in Sanskrit, University of Bombay. LL.B., Univ. of Bombay. M.A. and Ph.D. in Western philosophy, Univ. of New Mexico. Formerly of the Indian Revenue Service. I have taught more than seventy different courses in Eastern and Western philosophy, Eastern and Western religions, music, meditation and finance, from 1968 to 2003, at half a dozen institutions of higher education in the U.S.A. Currently retired, I am busy volunteering to teach Bhagavad-gita, Upanishads, Hinduism and Spiritual Studies. Modest spiritual practices, daily exercise routine, listening to music, tending my investment portfolios and multiple other interests leave me little time to do my writing. I have some desire but little impulse to finish my books on Gandhi, interfaith spirituality and metaphilosophy. This medium, blog, has a good feel because it is interactive. I am, therefore, quite excited about it. I look forward to your participation. |
