To Whom it may concern,
On the page www.spiritualteachers.org/merrell_wolff_bio.htm. In the text Richard Moss says "...His conscious spiritual quest began in his early twenties while studying mathematics at Harvard. There he attended a series of lectures on Vedanta given by Vivekananda...The young mathematician came away from those lectures profoundly moved."
This is not accurate because FMW was born in 1887 and Vivekananda died in 1902 and he was in Ca. in 1899 - 1900 giving lectures in Pasadena and San Francisco - at that time, FMW would have been 12 or 13 years old, so he would not have been a young mathematician at that time. I do not doubt that his interest remained into his early twenties, but it must have been several years after he attended the lectures - if at all. It would good if you could be so kind as to address this inaccuracy and do what you can to correct it. Thank you. Peace P.S.
