A scanned black-and-white newspaper page from the Vaanambadi Tamil newspaper dated 8-7-2006, page 5, with a large Tamil headline and a collage of photographs and text columns. The central photograph shows a bare-chested man in a wrapped turban and draped cloth seated cross-legged, one hand raised near his head, in front of a boxed quotation. Surrounding photos show a shaved-headed priest in white receiving a garland, a seated figure in meditation, a standing person in ochre robes with long hair, a Buddha statue, a group of people in a yard with umbrellas, a ritual with a shaved-headed figure, and a small group posing indoors. A starburst box in English reads a wife can be a man's best friend if both look at each other with no foregone conclusions and no pre-conceived images. The footer lists Dhyanapeeta Mahasamsthana, Kallagopanahalli, Mysore Road, Bidadi, Bangalore.
