This one is a resident of Swarga Dwar, the cremation ground down at the beach, where he does his sadhana of meditation, especially at night, worshiping Siva and Kali to get power to attain liberation. He speaks English well and invited me to come one night to observe his practice. I had already other plans for that night.
