The Sadhu

I spent a recent winter in Udaipur, India. My friend Yogi, who is a Hindu priest in the city, took me and his son, Moni, to meet this wonderful sadhu one late afternoon. We all spent time in this jovial Holy mans’ company, sharing much laughter and listening to his wisdom and knowledge, he even made chai for us all! What a wonderfully gentle and humble spiritual seeker he is. It was one of the many highlights from my winter in this magical city.
