Guest guest Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 The guy has brains and compassion! Gooooo! Akiba!Love,n 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. A breath of fresh air after Rob, eh! J Next step is for you to post a picture of “Yogiâ€!

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...
