Very interesting. Are you sure about this? Why have you never mentioned it before? I have heard of this gaurdian of the palmleaves, but I never knew he had travelled outside India. This is a very interesting statement since he would have no reason to say this in such a strong way. It would be interesting to have your friend Rick (if you are reading this) who is travelling around India to go there and ask him and try to verify this.
