This is me in a few years…
Let's take a step back from the spirituality that absorbs this man, and look at his killer beard.
:)
I must admit, I am greatly enticed by growing a beard. All great thinkers have beards. Well all the anarchist or social justice-driven philosophers at least ;D [Yes I know this isn't factual] But my dutch genetics are IN THE WAY But hopefully in a few years, when I near the end of my twenties, it'll thicken up a bit…
Nevertheless, I make my case here [of how all great philosophers have beards]:
Tolstoy_Prokudin-Gorsky
Friedrich Engels
Blackbeard I, Blackbeard II
Charles Darwin (despite being clean-shaven most of his life (in fact practically all but one year)
Dmitri Mendeleev
And the list go on and on… (Castro, Lincoln, Dostoevsky, Mithrandir)
But I can't grow one! Mind you, I can see myself growing this type of beard in 10 years. And more importantly, see myself in his shoes. Although living as a Nomad near Tibet would suit me just fine as well :)

Arrived at this video after researching nomads, and came to the wikipedia article: Orissa [Orissa] which caught my eye at these two points:
Orissa has culinary tradition spanning centuries if not millennia. The kitchen of the famous Jagannath temple in Puri is reputed to be the largest in the world, with a thousand chefs, working around 752 wood-burning clay hearths called chulas, to feed over 10,000 people each day.
Puri to be one of the four holiest places (dhams) for hinduism. Orissa has therefore a syncretic mixture of the three dharmic religions as attested by the fact that the Jagannath Temple in Puri is considered to be holy by Hindus, buddhists and jains.
