I'm sorry, but Ramaswami doesn't teach all that much in India anymore, he teaches most of the year in the US. You might try to contact him through Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles as he's teaching there all summer. hope this helps. thanks for stopping by my blog!

The red dot represents homage to the spirit and the intellect, and to the subjugation of the ego. Hence, victors from battle were applied a "tilak" a longer more masculine version of the bindi, again to represent victory over the self, without which the victory on the battlefield would be meaningless.
