Alas, alas... The organisers had arranged for someone to record audio and video of all the talks that are going on here each day, but they cancelled the day before the Convention! With iPhones and camcorders we are attempting to capture as much as we can, and the first two days went well in that regard. Unfortunately though, it's now got very hot (well, for westerners!) and the many fans in the marquee are running constantly (and loudly!) throughout the talks. This has rendered the talk recordings very difficult to hear and we'll need more time and other kinds of software than we have to hand here to get something listenable from them as they stand.

So, we'll work on ways here within the limitations to try and improve things but it may be that some of the talks won’t be available for a couple of weeks until we get home... This applies to both Jnanasuri's talk and also to Vajrapushpas's from day 3, and to Saddhaloka's talk today at the men's convention. In the meantime, we will have an interview with Jnanasuri recorded in easier circumstances tomorrow, so stay tuned for that and her amazing story of being present at the mass conversion led by Dr. Ambedkar!
