\I worked for some time on a solar project with many wonderful souls from Ananda. Several years ago on this project, I had worked out some complicated pressure and thermal dynamic equations, and I thought our solar project wouldn’t work. I came to Swamiji in a huff with pages and pages of equations that demonstrated it wouldn’t work.
