Hi Todd, Charissa,

Got the board… finally. Took it straight to the Ashram.

Pictures taken of all the Swamis gathered around it in total appreciation, screaming, whooping and gazing in admiration.

Even the kids from the village nearby came to see it. Here are seven initial pictures. By the way, it looks like they will be contacting you for some custom boards too. I asked them to simply drop my name :-)) ;-)) more pictures to follow….
… and here are some more. The last few are of Swami Narasinga (Jack Hebner) who was kind enough to “bless” the board and share a moment in a picture with me. “When are we taking this to the water Mahesh?” “Maybe Thursday?” “Right, let’s go out together.”… He turns 67 in August!

So.. .that’s that. A dream come true. A splendid thing of beauty comes down from the sands of Ventura to be with me in a village in Mulky, Mangalore.

Hope to ever be the nomad travelling the coasts.

Mahalo guys, keep in touch

Mahesh
