The Bhaktivedanta Institute for Higher Studies (BIHS) will host the third installment of an ongoing lecture series based on the books of Richard L. Thompson (Sadaputa Dasa, 1947-2008) with a hybrid (online/in-person) event at the BIHS Headquarters in Gainesville, FL, on February 3, 2024, 11 AM to 1 PM EST.
In this series, Thompson’s books are covered chapter by chapter with a presentation summarizing contents and central arguments, followed by a discussion. The focus of this installment will be on Sadaputa’s book Parallels: Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena, published in 1993.
Speaking of this book, Sadaputa said, “There are many parallels between specific details in Vedic accounts of the behavior and powers of humanlike races that use flying machines and corresponding details in UFO close-encounter cases. These parallels provide my main impetus for writing this book.” Roger W. Wescott, Professor of Anthropology & Linguistics at Drew University, said the book was “Carefully researched and well written; Parallels is a major addition to ufological literature.”
