There followed speeches by Sri Indulal Shah, Sri V. Srinivasan, Dr. Michael Goldstein, and Mr. Leonardo Gutter.

The rest of the Conference took place in a tent big enough to hold the 3,000 devotees, moderated by Prof. David Gries. There were talks by Dr. Narendra Reddy, Prof. Anil Kumar, Retired Air Chief Marshall N.C. Suri, Mr. Shitu Chudasama, and Sri B N Narasimha Murthy.

Attendees submitted over 200 questions in writing. Some of these were answered in interactive sessions during the conference by the speakers indicated above and by Dr. Bill Harvey.

The first part of the Conference Report is given on this web page. The second part, answers to all questions, and third part, the conclusions of the Conference, will be published later.

The first part of the report is beautifully designed. Each page is artfully, tastefully, and lovingly done. But because of this, each page takes a great deal of space, electronically speaking. Therefore, we have worked to provide you with several alternatives for viewing it.

The column to the left allows you to download a pdf file of the text of the report and to read individual sections of the report online.

The table below allows you to download individual pages of the report, as jpg files or pdf files. Eavh page is quite large. In the "jpg file" and "pdf file" columns appears the corresponding sizes of the files for the pages. The pdf files are higher resolution than the corresponding jpg files.
