Notes from Joardar's Talk 1958

This short and fragmentary document appears to be notes taken down by PB himself while attending a lecture (possibly in Washington D.C.) given by Dr Joardar in 1958. This is probably Dr Gopal Joardar, who was a pacifist and associated with the Theosophical Society—according to the sole reference found on him—which also mentions that he was situated in Washington.

We believe the notes in this file to be largely PB’s impressions of the statements made by Dr Joardar, rather than views held by himself. This volume therefore falls under the category of “Book Notes”—volumes of other people’s writings acquired by PB to either critique, emulate, or study for his own reasons. We have no way of knowing PB’s evaluation of this material, since he left no such comments; we present it because he included it as part of his post-mortem papers (along with several other equally puzzling documents).
