Monk sets up monastery for surfers

Monk sets up monastery for surfers
Telegraph.co.uk
'Swami Narasingha, 64, rides the waves on a surfboard inscribed with the Hindu holy word "Om".
Swami Narasingha runs a surfing ashram a form of prayer community or monastery - where the water sport is an extension of the prayers.
Devotees who take to the boards on the coast of Karnataka state, India, see a spiritual connection in spotting and catching waves.
"It's quite connected in that way," said the swami, who was born Jack Hebner in Florida, USA.
"If you ask a surfer, say from America or Australia, if he thought it was a spiritual experience, he may explain it but he won't relate it to the Gita (Hindu scripture)...'
