Williams presenting digitizing project of Bhagavad Gita to the President of India at the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore India, 1997.
Besides becoming an authority on Svami Vivekananda and the Ramakrishna Mission, Williams also wrote about the Wisdom tradition of Hinduism, in a series on mythology (finding that category inappropriate and already judging Hindu Wisdom lacking).
Prof. Huston Smith and Williams were both invited to a number of Ramakrishna Mission conferences as speakers. Huston was interested in making a point, Williams in stopping a picture, it seems.
