Even today, in certain parts of the world, it is still possible to come across true wandering mendicants, detached from home and comforts. My above portrait is Rupa Goswami, a 16th century renunciate, devotional poet, and philosopher who lived in the land of Vrndavana, India. This is a 4 by 6 inch linocut. Thanks for stopping by!

How I love your work including the lovely clean lines in your header.
Rupa Goswami. Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, are you a follower of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition?
