Mercy of Durga Mata
It is not easy to describe the Durga Puja Festival we just attended in Bangkok. We got a pretty big party ready and a big supply of books and headed for the the "WAT KET" (Indian Temple) on Silom Road.

The Search for Liberation is the earlier version of Chant and Be Happy, but with John Lennon's picture instead of George Harrison's.
