I had some great contact with Devi on the WRI council. He was such a kind and thoughful man. He came to New Mexico when I was working for WRL there and spoke on nonviolence. I set up a meeting with Resis Lopez Tijernia, then a miltant chicano leader to talk about nonviolence and Gandhi. They spoke about an hour but both listened very closely to one another and Devi was so respectful of their struggle for land grants.
When I was in India for the Triennial whatever year that was Devi and his wife were gracious hosts in New Delhi. She took me to visit day cares and early education centers and had a great influence in my life as an early childhood educator.
Thank you Devi for your wonderful life!
