He wears a smaller dress shirt, his hair is combed to the side and his long pants has a huge tear that could expose his underwear if he only dared to walk differently! He waits in the kitchen looking at the foreigners do their Karma yoga (cutting veggies, washing dishes, mopping etc).&nbsp; He has the most peaceful, curious expression&#8230;.and he reminds me of Nicolas.&nbsp; Everytime I see him, I tear up.&nbsp; Just before hopping on the bus for the big day out, I saw him, ran back to my dorm, grabbed the last chocolate candy I had and gave him. First he gave me the Indian expression with his hands and shook his head, but I told him it&#8217;s chocolate and he smiled. &nbsp;His face lit up every so coyly and took it.&nbsp; I&#8217;m veclemt (almost in tears again just writing this&#8230;sheesh!&#8230;my sensitive side is showing!).&nbsp; I asked a couple students about ways to support the community\/ families.&nbsp; Apparently the funds from students at the ashram goes toward helping kids in the area to go to school -seva yoga. <\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"clear: left;float: right;margin-bottom: 1em;margin-left: 1em;text-align: right\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_UEKwSr3AY74\/TVAuK5WYgxI\/AAAAAAAAADE\/SRNtayp6NK0\/s1600\/Nirala+in+India+01-11+196.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_UEKwSr3AY74\/TVAuK5WYgxI\/AAAAAAAAADE\/SRNtayp6NK0\/s320\/Nirala+in+India+01-11+196.jpg\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center\">While walking the dirt paths to Trimbak. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Caves, Nasik.
