I met Father Anand for the first time on April 16, Palm Sunday. Ravi and I went to the Catholic church to talk to him and watch this play they were organizing to teach the story of Easter.
There were strange things about the service as compared to other Catholic services and I wondered what was up. After the service Father Anand told me what was up – they arranged for the priest to do the welcome and goodbye, protestants did the sermon and music, and Hindus and Muslims played all the roles in the theater show.
Later before this HIV vaccine conference we arranged I went to meet him again at his office. Everything he showed me there impressed me. He does the church work, and he manages a troupe of street play performers, and he does videography for simple documentaries and a TV channel. Besides that, he runs an organized office.
Their videography company is called Vishwa Jyoti Communications. I look forward to working more with him in the future.
