Disclose Notes: This shares the last page of "The Swami". Average monthly circulation not provided. Contradicting the indicia, the statement of ownership shows bimonthly publication; it is possible that the shift in publication schedules is the reason for reprinting an identical statement of ownership to the one printed two issues prior (issue #58).
