So in this class we study the Gospel of Sari-Rama Krishna, which is an English translation of the Sri

Sari-Ramrita, which is a record of the conversations of Sre-Rama-Krishna with his disciples, devotees, visitors.

It's a spiritual classic really.

In the format of this class is, I read a little bit,

and then I say something about it,

and you're welcome to Chipin with questions, observations.

So here we go.

We were on 8 April 1883, which was a Sunday and it's a fairly long conversation.

So we had just started that.

If you remember, he was speaking with Manilal who had visited Benares and had met Trilangaswamy, he had met Bhaskarandah Swami,

and Sridama Krishna asked him, what did you see? What did you talk about?

And he narrated his conversation with Bhaskaran Daswamy.

Treylangaswami was, by that time, he was observing a vow of silence, so he didn't speak.

But Manilal saw him. He was a legend in his time.

He is well known because one of the things he is well known for, Treylangaswamy,

because he lived an extraordinarily long life, 280 years, supposedly.

But there are fairly good records at that time to show that he did live for a very, very long time.

I've mentioned this earlier, but it's funny enough to mention it again.

I was contacted by Hollywood and they asked me, the film industry, they asked me,

would you like to be in a film with William Shatner?
