Among the Vaiṣṇavas
A conversation with Graham Schweig and others
This is a conversation on devotional religion East and West, conducted by a member of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness named Arjuna Gallagher, recorded a few weeks ago. My principal interlocutor is the very distinguished Sanskrit scholar and translator Graham Schweig, who is himself a member of the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness movement. As fate would have it, the audio feed from my end was the one that did not record quite as crisply as the others. My apologies. Headphones help, if you have them. But Arjuna did his best to remaster the sound.
I loved your interlocutor Graham. He seemed to embody the "purity of heart" saintliness you mentioned as opposed to the more cantankerous kind. I would love to see you do more discussions with him. I thought I hadn't heard of him, but apparently I already had his translation of the Bhagavad Gita on my kindle. Just couldn't put the name on the face. I couldn't follow most of the more arcane (to me) points of Hindu (or should I say Sanatana Dharma) metaphysics and doctrine, but I enjoyed what I did understand. Thank you all for this, Arjuna and Samuel included. They have a great podcast.
*Gallagher. With yours truly as a guest 'questioner' too.
