This is what God looks like

My good friend took this shot of two of my closest friends in India, both Rickshaw drivers.
She came up with the caption for her blog:
"This is what God looks like"

Facing the picture: The man on my left is the person whose home I stayed in temporarlily. I had my own space next to his home and he was a great help when the roaches were crawling, the wild dogs barking, and having a manic episode.
I studied yoga with his oldest son age 18 at a shala frequented by most Indian people and a small number of Westerners.

The man on my right: I went over to his home for almond flavored milk. I met his wife, and two daughters ages 11 and 13. He gave me a Ganesh statue, his nicest piece in his display case as a gift.

I am sure these two men will remain friends for life on my future trips and life back in America when I return. They were extremely helpful in navigating "the mars inhabited by a handful of Western Yogis, the slums of Beverly Hills of Mysore, India".
