So
what
was
it
about
this
kid
?
Why
was
I
so
moved
every
time
I
saw
his
face
-
a
face
so
drenched
with
luminescence
it
looked
like
he
’
d
just
come
back
from
a
long
vacation
in
the
Milky
Way
?
I
finally
asked
another
Indian
teenager
who
he
was
.
She
replied
matter
-
of
-
factly
:
"
This
is
the
son
of
one
of
the
local
shopkeepers
.
His
family
is
very
poor
.
The
Guru
invited
him
to
stay
here
.
When
he
plays
the
drums
,
you
can
hear
God
’
s
voice
.
"
There
is
one
temple
in
the
Ashram
that
is
open
to
the
general
public
,
where
many
Indians
come
throughout
the
day
to
pay
tribute
to
a
statue
of
the
Siddha
Yogi
(
or
"
perfected
master
"
)
who
established
this
lineage
of
teaching
back
in
the
1920s
and
who
is
still
revered
across
India
as
a
great
saint
.
But
the
rest
of
the
Ashram
is
for
students
only
.
It
’
s
not
a
hotel
or
a
tourist
location
.
It
’
s
more
like
a
university
.
You
must
apply
to
come
here
,
and
in
order
to
be
accepted
for
a
residency
,
you
must
show
that
you
’
ve
been
studying
this
Yoga
seriously
for
a
good
long
while
.
A
minimum
stay
of
one
month
is
required
.
(
I
’
ve
decided
to
stay
here
for
six
weeks
,
and
then
to
travel
around
India
on
my
own
,
exploring
other
temples
,
Ashrams
and
devotional
sites
.
)
The
students
here
are
about
equally
divided
between
Indians
and
Westerners
(
and
the
Westerners
are
about
evenly
divided
between
Americans
and
Europeans
)
.
Courses
are
taught
in
both
Hindi
and
English
.
On
your
application
,
you
must
write
an
essay
,
gather
references
,
and
answer
questions
about
your
mental
and
physical
health
,
about
any
possible
history
of
drug
or
alcohol
abuse
and
also
about
your
financial
stability
.
The
Guru
doesn
’
t
want
people
to
use
her
Ashram
as
an
escape
from
whatever
bedlam
they
may
have
created
in
their
real
lives
;
this
will
not
benefit
anyone
.
She
also
has
a
general
policy
that
if
your
family
and
loved
ones
for
some
reason
deeply
object
to
the
idea
of
your
following
a
Guru
and
living
in
an
Ashram
,
then
you
shouldn
’
t
do
it
,
it
’
s
not
worth
it
.
Just
stay
home
in
your
normal
life
and
be
a
good
person
.
There
’
s
no
reason
to
make
a
big
dramatic
production
over
this
.
The
level
of
this
woman
’
s
practical
sensibilities
are
always
comforting
to
me
.
To
come
here
,
then
,
you
must
demonstrate
that
you
are
also
a
sensible
and
practical
human
being
.
You
must
show
that
you
can
work
because
you
’
ll
be
expected
to
contribute
to
the
overall
operation
of
the
place
with
about
five
hours
a
day
of
seva
,
or
"
selfless
service
.
"
The
Ashram
management
also
asks
,
if
you
have
gone
through
a
major
emotional
trauma
in
the
last
six
months
(
divorce
;
death
in
the
family
)
that
you
please
postpone
your
visit
to
another
time
because
chances
are
you
won
’
t
be
able
to
concentrate
on
your
studies
,
and
,
if
you
have
a
meltdown
of
some
sort
,
you
’
ll
only
bring
distraction
to
your
fellow
students
.
I
just
made
the
post
-
divorce
cutoff
myself
.
And
when
I
think
of
the
mental
anguish
I
was
going
through
right
after
I
left
my
marriage
,
I
have
no
doubt
that
I
would
have
been
a
great
drain
on
everyone
at
this
Ashram
had
I
come
here
at
that
moment
.
Far
better
to
have
rested
first
in
Italy
,
gotten
my
strength
and
health
back
,
and
then
showed
up
.
Because
I
will
need
that
strength
now
.
They
want
you
to
come
here
strong
because
Ashram
life
is
rigorous
Not
just
physically
,
with
days
that
begin
at
3
:
00
AM
and
end
at
9
:
00
PM
,
but
also
psychologically
.
You
’
re
going
to
be
spending
hours
and
hours
a
day
in
silent
meditation
and
contemplation
,
with
little
distraction
or
relief
from
the
apparatus
of
your
own
mind
.
You
will
be
living
in
close
quarters
with
strangers
,
in
rural
India
.
There
are
bugs
and
snakes
and
rodents
.
The
weather
can
be
extreme
-
sometimes
torrents
of
rain
for
weeks
on
end
,
sometimes
100
degrees
in
the
shade
before
breakfast
.
Things
can
get
deeply
real
around
here
,
very
fast
.
My
Guru
always
says
that
only
one
thing
will
happen
when
you
come
to
the
Ashram
-
that
you
will
discover
who
you
really
are
.
So
if
you
’
re
hovering
on
the
brink
of
madness
already
,
she
’
d
really
rather
you
didn
’
t
come
at
all
.
Because
,
frankly
,
nobody
wants
to
have
to
carry
you
out
of
this
place
with
a
wooden
spoon
clenched
between
your
teeth
.
My
arrival
coincides
nicely
with
the
arrival
of
a
new
year
.
I
have
barely
one
day
to
get
myself
oriented
to
the
Ashram
,
and
then
it
is
already
New
Year
’
s
Eve
.
After
dinner
,
the
small
courtyard
starts
to
fill
with
people
.
We
all
sit
on
the
ground
-
some
of
us
on
the
cool
marble
floor
and
some
on
grass
mats
.
The
Indian
women
have
all
dressed
as
though
for
a
wedding
.
Their
hair
is
oiled
and
dark
and
braided
down
their
backs
.
They
are
wearing
their
finest
silk
saris
and
gold
bracelets
,
and
each
woman
has
a
brightly
jeweled
bindi
in
the
center
of
her
forehead
,
like
a
dim
echo
of
the
starlight
above
us
.
The
plan
is
to
chant
outside
in
this
courtyard
until
midnight
,
until
the
year
changes
over
.
