12. In 1987 I met Darshan Singh at his ashram in Old Delhi, India. With a colleague, Aaron Talsky, I waited in his study five hours to meet him. When the meeting actually began I was surprised by the personal attention Darshan Singh showered upon us (and we were not even initiates). The visit included a look at his family pictures, an offering of Indian snacks, and, upon departure, a bear hug and a ride back to my hotel by his personal driver.
