The American Academy of Religion is holding it’s annual meeting in San Antonio, TX November 19-22, 2016.

Bogdan recently announced on FB:
“The thrill of being an historian of religions! I’ve stumbled upon the true identity of Swami Pareswara Bikshu (Yogi Bhikshu) of David Curwen/Kenneth Grant fame. Moreover, it turns out that at least three of his tantrik manuscripts were published in the 1930s. All of this will be discussed in one of my papers at the AAR in San Antonio in November.”
If you’re attending, this is one presentation you won’t want to miss!
