it kind of shakes you up a little. I was pretty new to the mail art world when a
package came from Vishwa Shanti Nikethana, also known as Swami
Nirmalananda. I was pretty impressed to get mail from India, let alone a
Swami...I would see his name in Ryosuke Cohen's brain cell from time to time,
but he didn't write me back. Then a few months ago, he started writing me again.
Several months ago I received a letter (next page) and the text of his last
testament (page 4), which came as quite a shock to me. Why does a swami
participate in mail art? He's just communicating like we all are. he has found an
idea medium for his words...His words of wisdom have been a regular part of my
mailings, and I am sad to learn of his imminent passing." "Mail Art Pen Pals."
