My Dear Gavin,

My Dear Gavin, It has been my dream to come to this place and solicit cooperation for the A.A.A.S. It is impossible now for two quite different reasons. In the first place, there is a political transformation going on which makes the position of office-holders very insecure. And in the second place,... Sign in to see full entry.

Sept 21. 1956

Sept 21. Now all kinds of things are happening with a “bang” and there may be a long continuous story. Spent some time with the Supt. of Parks and I told him in my opinion he had one of the best parks in the world. It is roughly half British and half Mogul. The Mogul planting is very much like that...

September 19, 1956

September 19, 1956 My Dear Harry: Diary notes. Whenever my host does not show up I seek adventure and generally I find it. I visited the secretary of the Nizam, said to be the richest and stingiest man in the world. The secretary refused to make an appointment, but I think he is on the way out from...

September 17, 1956 My dear Quantz: I start out with diary notes a I am sure my notes now will never be complete. For more is happening than I can record. Thus on the 15 th I went out for a walk early and ran into a real Swami. In the evening I thought I would speak to a stranger in the hotel. I had... Sign in to see full entry.

Bombay, September 14, 1956 William L. Eilers, P.O. Box 1492, Rangoon, Burma Deer Bill: I continue to have a most successful and surprising journey with all kinds of adventures.

September 13, 1956

September 13, 1956 Dear Chris: This is my diary notation. I am constantly struck by the universal similarity in reactions which I get here and in confirming news. The vast difference between making God one’s adventure and writing about it is tremendous. My whole career has been that fools do rush in... Sign in to see full entry.

September 1956

My dear Fred: This is morning, Sept. 5 and these are my diary notes. Facts sometimes prove more strange than fantasy. It was foretold that when I came to India when I did not seek spiritual people they would seek me and this time I have to rely upon your collaboration for the last person I met, in...

Agra, September 1, 1956

Agra, September 1, 1956 My dear Rudolph: Jaipur was not on my itinerary and although the prime purpose of my visit was to meet people—the original host proved to be a frost. However I left this city with an utter contempt after what San Francisco calls an art show. The city itself is the cleanest... Sign in to see full entry.

August 29, 1956

August 29, 1956 Things continue to happen very fast. Monday was spent in writing, and it cost me almost Rs.20. Went to the railway office and found my bookings had gone through. It would be interesting to find out whether I meet Earl Warren who is going to Jaipur and Agra respectively about the time... Sign in to see full entry.
