Meet this unknown soul Taksang Dorjey whom I discovered meditating in a natural cave up in high mountains along India’s frontiers with occupied #Tibet
in Eastern #ladakh
1/n

He is 65 yrs old as claimed by him and lives a solitary life in this mountain cave 15000 feet above sea level with temperatures going down upto -38deg C. He is sustained by bare essentials supplied to him by local inhabitants living on the foothills
2/n

His daily routine includes sleeping at 10:30 pm and waking up at 02:30 am to pray thereafter. His cave temple contains undated but definitely precious manuscripts he uses for daily prayers. Also note the undated inscriptions on the stones outside (zoom and see)
3/n

He is living like this for the last 2 + yrs though I doubt it could be more since he doesn’t seem to be having same material concept of time like ours
4/n

When asked about his motivation and purpose of living like this- he replies that he is on a penance, he wants to apologise to every animal and creature that he has harmed in his life
5/n

He demonstrates Zero attachment & material desire but is full of wits & wisdom. When asked what does he think of Chinese claiming this as their land, he replies “My response is same as that given by #IndianArmy to them!”
6/n

He presents unmatched hospitality even at his frugal abode! You meet him and you will not hesitate to call him Mahatma Taksang Dorjey !!
