Wisdom Thinkers reflect on 9/11: Ten years after

is an international network of peace seekers, many at the top of their fields, committed to world change arising from the common ground of perennial wisdom found in the stories of sacred and secular tradition.

In recent years, good efforts have been made to advance the cause of peace through dialogue, but as time passes, the concept of bound communities talking across lines of separation is an insufficient starting point toward the outcome of a peaceful world. Wisdom in stories has proven to be the way to break the deadlock binding dialogue based peace efforts.

On Thursday, September 8, 2011, Wisdom Thinkers Network will sponsor an important conversation in New York, as part of the 92nd Street Y's decennial commemoration of 9/11, a series entitled: Searching For Answers In A Post-9/11 World.

Here is the program for this upcoming event. Please go to the site and register to attend.

Organizational efforts in Berlin

I recently spent a week in Berlin to support the management of a VIP hospitality team, and tend personally to key international guests at a major speech and performance there.

Christian - Muslim Dialogue in Washington DC

I recently spent an evening in Arlington, VA as the guest of Trac5 board members where I helped moderate a private conversation among American Christian leaders and leaders of the major Muslim and interreligious organizations in America (such as ISNA, IIIT, ICRD, and others).

The conversation was designed for those present to examine how best to respond to dramatic events in North Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan, and elsewhere, in ways that create the greatest likelihood of peaceful and positive directions and outcomes.



The encounter was warm of heart, but penetrating in content.

Video of Detroit Talk

A video of my discourse is at the bottom of this post.

It is a good quality video, but the center section of the address is disrupted by drilling in a part of the temple.

If you can endure the distraction for the minutes the drilling persists, it is possible to follow the talk throughout.



On Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011, I spoke by invitation at the Detroit-based Radha Krishna Ashta Shakthi Mandir on two popular Leelas of Lord Krishna, The Taming Of Kaliya, and Brahma's Delusion.


On the following day I could enjoy a morning of sight-seeing in Detroit with my beloved brother Acharya Shrivatsa Goswawmi ji, his wonderful wife Sandhya, and our delightful local hosts Pam and Sarita. Our pictures are at the GM Center on the Detroit River across from Windsor Canada
