2009 06 25. Thursday.

Had a nice moment with Svayam this afternoon. He's a slightly heavyset young Indian man from Bihar about 35 years old or so. He's a very sweet guy with a gentle, innocent nature and very friendly large expressive eyes. He's lived here for about 10 years or so I think. He does a lot of different things around the ashram and is very good with computers. I needed to print out some compost project data records and they told me Svayam could handle it. I found him chatting and relaxing with some other Indians in the big hall after the compost work today and told him what I needed. He jumped up to help and we went to the boy's computer room. That's the same room where I got kicked out of a few weeks ago. But with Svayam escorting me it was no problem. After we got the pages printed we were chatting and he said he sometimes assists Swami Jnanamrita with things. Spontaneously I said to Svayam "Whenever I see Swami J I get a special feeling inside. When I see his eyes and his smile I feel wonderful." Svayam beamed a huge, bright smile, looked at me intently, grabbed a hold of my arm and said "Yes! Yes!" in full agreement. It was a sweet moment. For just a moment we were like two schoolgirls talking about having a crush on some hunky boy pop star.

Hmmm... "Hunky Boy" I like that. Hey Emily; between Jagadish, Para and Sanatan, which one do you think we should start calling "Hunky Boy"? I'm thinking Sanatan, but I definitely trust your judgment on this.
