Gita Class at Coco Plaza at Osaka Japanese plum”, so called because plum fruits ripen due to the rain of this period. It was a joy to see many flowers and plants during my morning walk. My first engagement was a two-day “Gita class” at Coco Plaza, Osaka from 4 June to 5 June. We have been studying the Gita since 2012. This year we studied “Sthitaprajna Lakshana” of 2nd chapter. I am happy to note that more people are taking an interest in the study of the Gita. On 4 June, 50 people and on 5 June, 42 people joined the class.
On 7 June, I had a privilege to address 24 religious preachers of one of the Bhakti schools of Buddhism, called Seizan Pure Land Buddhism at Koumyouji temple, their HQ in Nagaoka city near Kyoto. Ven. Seizan was a

On 8 June, I was invited by Suita city Yoga Federation to talk on the "Law of Karma & Karma Yoga" at the Senri Citizen's Center Auditorium. Though it was a weekday about 200 of their members attended the talk. This group
