Something else: I was reading tonight in the book Autobiography of a Yogi, by Swami Yogananda, and he describes how he was sent in 1920 to Boston to take part as Indian delegate in an International Congress of Religious Liberals, held under the auspices of the American Unitarian Association. He doesn’t mention IARF, but I suppose it must have been an IARF Congress. He gave a presentation there, where he talked there i.a. on the basic unity of all religions. He doesn’t really report on the Congress, but I find it fascinating that he mentions the Congress as the beginning of his extensive stay in the US.

Dear Congress Participants, Dear Friends,
You will find recordings of Congress sessions here: https://iarf.net/groups/congress-2023/recordings/. The list is not complete yet as editing the footage turned out to be a little more time consuming than I had anticipated due to some issues with sound. I had to make and add subtitles to several videos to make them easier to understand and enjoy. Most regretabbly, one recording turned out to be unusable, unfortunately – Rev. Young’s talk was recorded using the wired microphone, which turned out to be broken. We replaced it with a wireless one immediately, but the damage had been done. My most sincere apologies to Rev. Young and all of you. The video quality isn’t as high as I hoped for (aparently Zoom’s cloud recording feature is limited in this regard), but I hope it won’t be too distracting from the content. I’ve certainly lerarned a lot and will do better next time! The list will be completed today or tomorrow.
All the best,
Luke
