However, if you look for him on FB you will find him there. Look for Mahantyogi Ranveernathji Hugs Akiba Hi Akiba,..Probably nice to have someone you can relate to, and have the same philosophies. I’m happy for you, and hope everything works out in a way that is good for you and Robbin. God knows you guys deserve to have some joy and happiness in your lives.

For the past 7-8 months I have been "seeing" someone. Last night we took it to the next step...yes...video chat. He lives in and is from Ajmer City, Ra jasthan, India. He is an international Yoga teacher. He has 5 ashrams all over India and also works out of Italy, Austria, Spain and Germany. Matter of fact he's going back to Austria and Germany for a couple of weeks, soon. In his "main" Ashram, he also has his home, which he recently remodeled to contain all western appliances (brought in from Austria) and even western plumbing (if you know anything about India you might know that they use squat toilets, and if you know anything about ME you'd know that I can't use one), so now his house id totally compatible with...me. If you have seen "Eat, Pray, Love" his ashram is a bit like the "pray" part of the film, except he doesn't just teach prayer, he teaches yoga. His students, though, *are* called "devotees" and he has many of them. They do all the cooking and cleaning and stuff for him, he does none if it, but that is "the way" there. His name is a bit long and so I jus t call him Yogi *grin* it's easier that way. His name is Ranveernathji. So you see, "Yogi" is a lot easier. His actual surname is part of his name, and is Nath. The area he comes from is a more "elite" area then most, and he is descendent from royalty (that is the "Nath" thing) While, as a Westerner I do not approve nor adhere to the Indian "caste" system, I figure if you're gonna fall for someone who *does* then make him upper caste lol, kind of like the ol' "it is as easy to fall in love with a rich man than a poor one" He is planning on coming here in the Spring, that is, if he can't make it sooner. He has a busy schedule and so many students it is hard for him to get away to come see me. I'm sure as hell not going *there*, not unless I know a whole lot more about him, and not until Robbin is 18. Partly because I know Rob sure isn't going to let me take him with me and I am NOT going without him. And by that time Yogi a nd I will have been together for over 5 years, so if the relationship lasts that long and is solid, and Robbin is old enough, well, it might be in the cards. But not until then. Anyway. As usual, I never do anything either "normal" or "easy". Hugs Akiba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name is a bit long and so I jus t call him Yogi *grin* it's easier that way. His name is Ranveernathji. So you see, "Yogi" is a lot easier. His actual surname is part of his name, and is Nath. The area he comes from is a more "elite" area then most, and he is descendent from royalty (that is the "Nath" thing) While, as a Westerner I do not approve nor adhere to the Indian "caste" system, I figure if you're gonna fall for someone who *does* then make him upper caste lol, kind of like the ol' "it is as easy to fall in love with a rich man than a poor one" He is planning on coming here in the Spring, that is, if he can't make it sooner. He has a busy schedule and so many students it is hard for him to get away to come see me. I'm sure as hell not going *there*, not unless I know a whole lot more about him, and not until Robbin is 18. Partly because I know Rob sure isn't going to let me take him with me and I am NOT going without him. And by that time Yogi a nd I will have been together for over 5 years, so if the relationship lasts that long and is solid, and Robbin is old enough, well, it might be in the cards. But not until then. Anyway. As usual, I never do anything either "normal" or "easy". Hugs Akiba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Apparently, a person needs to be logged into Facebook in order to see the photo. My son has a Facebook account; but, I deactivated mine, and probably removed it completely because of all the Facebook spam that was being sent to my hotmail email address. My son doesn't log in to Facebook using my computer, very often. So, I can't see his photo. There is only one social network site I used and I've been a member since the late 90s and still have not received any spam.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 He is a very kind man and probably the polar opposite to Rob, which only makes him More attractive...and he loves Robbin, and Robbin loves him. And while I don't agree with the whole caste thing, if he were *not* of the "upper" caste he would not be able to travel to come see me, so I guess I'll just be grateful for that. And the people who work for him are not "servants" as they would be in most cases, but students and are there because they want to learn from him, that, I can deal with. And I gotta admit, the idea of having someone else around to do some cooking and cleaning is appealing ;-) Anyway, now that he has Skype and can video call me, he does. Often.

For the past 7-8 months I have been "seeing" someone. Last night we took it to the next step...yes...video chat. He lives in and is from Ajmer City, Ra jasthan, India. He is an international Yoga teacher. He has 5 ashrams all over India and also works out of Italy, Austria, Spain and Germany. Matter of fact he's going back to Austria and Germany for a couple of weeks, soon. In his "main" Ashram, he also has his home, which he recently remodeled to contain all western appliances (brought in from Austria) and even western plumbing (if you know anything about India you might know that they use squat toilets, and if you know anything about ME you'd know that I can't use one), so now his house id totally compatible with...me. If you have seen "Eat, Pray, Love" hi s ashram is a bit like the "pray" part of the film, except he doesn't just teach prayer, he teaches yoga. His students, though, *are* called "devotees" and he has many of them. They do all the cooking and cleaning and stuff for him, he does none if it, but that is "the way" there. His name is a bit long and so I jus t call him Yogi *grin* it's easier that way. His name is Ranveernathji. So you see, "Yogi" is a lot easier. His actual surname is part of his name, and is Nath. The area he comes from is a more "elite" area then most, and he is descendent from royalty (that is the "Nath" thing) While, as a Westerner I do not approve nor adhere to the Indian "caste" system, I figure if you're gonna fall for someone who *does* then make him upper caste lol, kind of like the ol' "it is as easy to fall in love with a rich man than a poor one" He is planning on coming here in the Spring, that is, if he can't make it sooner. He has a busy schedule and so many students it is hard for him to get away to come see me. I'm sure as hell not going *there*, not unless I know a whole lot more about him, and not until Robbin is 18. Partly because I know Rob sure isn't going to let me take him with me and I am NOT going without him. And by that time Yogi a nd I will have been together for over 5 years, so if the relationship lasts that long and is solid, and Robbin is old enough, well, it might be in the cards. But not until then. Anyway. As usual, I never do anything either "normal" or "easy". Hugs Akiba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 You know what's really cute? when he tells me something sweet in Italian...with his very thick east Indian accent!!!! He is a very kind man and probably the polar opposite to Rob, which only makes him More attractive...and he loves Robbin, and Robbin loves him. And while I don't agree with the whole caste thing, if he were *not* of the "upper" caste he would not be able to travel to come see me, so I guess I'll just be grateful for that. And the people who work for him are not "servants" as they would be in most cases, but students and are there because they want to learn from him, that, I can deal with. And I gotta admit, the idea of having someone else around to do some cooking and cleaning is appealing ;-) Anyway, now that he has Skype and can video call me, he does. Often. So I have to make sure my hair is brushed etc...cuz I never know when I'll be "on camera" :-D  I went to fb and found him. What a looker! I wish you great happiness, Akiba! love, Kate From: Akiba To: MSersLife Sent: Friday, September 9, 2011 9:06 PM Subject: Re: Akiba......RE: ok, time to 'fess up  I just tried to, dont know is it went through yet  Very handsome, and kind eyes! Do you want me to post his picture?

However, if you look for him on FB you will find him there. Look for Mahantyogi Ranveernathji Hugs Akiba  Hi Akiba,..Probably nice to have someone you can relate to, and have the same philosophies.
