Prasanna is a powerful teacher. I used to visit him at least once a year. Sometimes to study Vashistha's Yoga, sometimes to stare into (beyond?) his paintings, sometimes to chat, and always to go out for Mexican food. I never met his sister.
The reminiscence you posted of your Zen-like friend is priceless. I found the Ramana Maharshi video on YouTube, narrated by Ram Dass @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dTpMc4sc2c.
I knew Prasanna Sheth as well, who was quite the transcendent painter and also knew Vedic astrology. His sister Kusuma was an ardent devotee of Shri Dhyanyogi Madhusudandas, and later hosted Swami Shivom Tirth at her residence in Berkeley.
Hi Roger,

Hi Rami,
What great memories of Prasanna! I might venture to guess that you two dined at La Casa, across the street from the mission.
Also, I just corrected my earlier post, as I recalled that Kusuma was involved with Shri Dhyanyogi Madhusudandas, not Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Hi Rami, Just search youtube for "Bert Salzman." There are several free films, which I will watch -- thank you! Always enlightening to read you.

Exceptional. Clear and concise. And typically humorous.
