I think I got to meet Goswami, I had a friend who connected with him. Well recommended.
Oh, I did actually meet and talk with Alan Watts too. He spent a month or two as scholar in residence at San Jose State in 1968 where I was a student. He actually came to my dorm for a small seminar. I don't think his well-attended lectures there were recorded. Boy, that was a heady atmosphere! I had picked up some of his books from my parents' bookshelf and from the college bookstore in the 2 years just before then. But I still get to hear his recordings every week on our local non-profit station (on which I had a program for a while too). My parents knew him too since they were pioneers at KPFA, the first public station, and he broadcast there. Watts lived in Marin County CA for most of his years as an author. He has lots of these on youtube too, and other websites. Most recordings of his lectures are early 2T vintage, but some recordings of his earlier talks also exist.
