THE FINEST MAN I EVER MET...

"Bhakti Vidya Purna Swami is my (step) son. After he made the transition into ISKCON and began his life in India, we had little contact until after his father's death in 1978. I was with him briefly in San Francisco in 1980. During his summer travels in 2008, he came to visit me in Eugene, Ore., where he grew up. Meeting him again after 28 years, I can say that he is the finest man I ever met. We are in fairly regular communication now, and he is aware that he still has all my love and support. His students are truly fortunate and well blessed.
