TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE STILL NOT READ THE POSTS REGARDING BHAKTI ANANDA 
GOSWAMI'S IDENTITY AND CREDENTIALS. PLEASE SEE THE WORLD VAISHNAVA 
ASSOCIATION (WVA) HOME PAGE NAMING ME TO HEAD THEIR INTERFAITH 
COMMITTEE. PLEASE ALSO READ THE 1994 ORBIS BOOKS 
PUBLICATION "EMBRACING EARTH : CATHOLIC APPROACHES TO THEOLOGY" ISBN 
# 0-88344-966-8, EDITED BY PROF. JOHN E. CARROLL AND ALBERT J. LA 
CHANCE. ORBIS BOOKS IS THE PUBLISHING HOUSE OF MARYKNOLL, THE 
CATHOLIC FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF AMERICA. THEIR ADDRESS IS P O 
BOX 308, MARYKNOLL, NY, 10545-0308, USA. 

I, BHAKTI ANANDA GOSWAMI, AKA BROTHER DAVID SHERMAN, WAS INVITED BY 
THE EDITORS TO CONTRIBUTE A CHAPTER TO THIS BOOK ON THE ROLE OF 
ASCETICISM IN THE JUDEO-CATHOLIC TRADITION, AND THE RELEVANCE OF 
ABSTINENCE AND ASCETICISM AND OTHER TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC AND GANDHIAN 
VAISHNAVA PRACTICES TO ECOLOGY TODAY. THE BOOK IDENTIFIES ME AS A 
SANNYASI BY MY ORDAINED NAME BELOW, AND ALSO BY MY CHRISTIAN NAME. 

MY CHAPTER IS TITLED "CHOOSE LIFE". THE BOOK HAS RECEIVED PRAISE 
FROM CATHOLIC LEADERS AND HAS BEEN USED IN PARISH COURSES, AS WELL AS 
DISTRIBUTED BY PRIESTS AND BISHOPS. 

PLEASE STOP INSULTING MYSELF, MY DAUGHTER AND OTHERS BY CLAIMING THAT 
WE ARE NOT REAL PERSONS, AND THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS INVENTED US.
