A few years ago I conducted a lecture about my nation and its independence. A journalist from the largest newspaper of Slovenia called Delo observed me and found me worthy of an opinion. Below I have attached her words which are translated by my dear friend Amadea Kovic. Amadea is a young and talented published …
Observations I Made
Few more days passed and I observed everything I could. I walked around inside and outside of the Ashram premises and spoke with as many people as I possibly could. I did not refrain from posing tough questions, some were answered some were ignored but ask I did! Slowly and steadily things started to make …
The Ashram
