Interviewing Lokamitra and Subhuti in India

By Candradasa on Thu, 11 Apr, 2013 - 20:24“Why do you want to interview them together?” a few people asked me in India. Something to do with wanting to hold up the best exemplars in our community.

And I might never get the chance again…

So I’m aware that I haven’t yet really seen India yet, that will come later. But it is an amazing location for the second...
