Dutch TV Interview
Last weekend we had a pleasant visit by two filmmakers from a Dutch TV company who flew down from Holland for an interview, as they are making a documentary on Yantra and Mantra. Luckily, I was able to rustle up a small group of far-flung ‘local’ students from the outlying villages in order for them to film an example of our chant-and-response practice. They asked useful questions from the point of a ‘know-nothing’ audience in very sympathetic manner, which I appreciated very much (after having had experience of snide BBC presenters looking down their noses in a supercilious manner with an air of ‘humouring’ anyone speaking on spiritual matters).
They also filmed around the house, study and garden (to show the real life of an urban sadhu). Apparently, after the documentary is shown on Dutch television it will also be available on the Internet.
Although I have emails coming in thick and fast by several dozens every day (so much that I can’t keep up morning until night ), I’ll try to keep you informed by this blog.
For all those of you outside of Holland, who missed the Dutch documentary on OHM TV, please check out the half-hour film on the Internet at:

The documentary is partly in Dutch and partly in English (at least, when I am being interviewed) with my words subtitled in Dutch.
I’d be interested to hear your comments on the film.
