Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. One professor at Yale, Mark Heim, agreed to facilitate a reading course on Carl Jung and Gaudiya Vaishanvism for me. He said he does not know much about Carl Jung but he is willing to facilitate the course. I am also in the same boat right now, as I do not know much about Carl Jung, so the course would probably have to be more of an introduction to his thought and a few preliminary connections that can be made with Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy/theology. Gurudeva, I looked at the reading list you suggested in Viplavah and saved the names of the books. I was wondering if you have any more recommendations of books that I should read during the course of the next semester. Tomorrow, I am meeting with Mark Heim to discuss the details of the course. I am very grateful for any guidance you can provide, Guru Maharaja.


Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi


Hps/ASA - AGTSP. paoho. The reading list is probably too much for one semester. You might start with Britannica article, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Carl-Jung, as an introduction, then read "Memories Dreams and Reflections". After that there could be choice of other books based upon time and interest of the students.

O.K.?

We will write to Professors Shonu Syamdasi and Bernardo Nantes about their opinions also.
