The spiritual media blog located at www.spiritualmediablog.com has just published a lengthy question and answer interview with me.  They asked about my memoir, From Brooklyn to Benares and Back, and were especially interested to hear about my experiences during the last days of the Soviet Union and events in Syria before the current civil war.  I was also able to give a long answer to their question about how to improve meditation.  You can read the interview at this link.
