	Brazil.

	I've met him; he is an extremely nice and highly knowledgeable person.
Interestingly enough, from his lecture style, you would assume that he
was a pedant, but in conversation, he is the opposite. I have been told
that this is due to a style of lecturing popular in India, and he would
be aghast if he thought that people took his lectures as him trying to
preach the Law.

	Apparently (from sources here and otherwise), his wife could not take
living in Adyar, and she essentially told him, I'm going back to Brazil.
Come or not, but if you don't come now, don't bother coming later.
