I am overjoyed that regional stories are finally getting the recognition they deserve..I'm just sad that I might not be able to see plays like this over here in Canada, unless the directors consider it profitable to take their plays on tour.<BR/><BR/>The book of Swami Nikhilanda that you made reference to,was it by any chance, "Man in search of immortality: testimonials from the Hindu scriptures"?<BR/><BR/>Once again, thank you for another great post!<BR/><BR/><BR/>@Sanjay ~ Hi!
