Ronald Singer

A couple of nights ago I was suddenly consumed with thoughts of Surya. Mysterious timing. Such a human with honest virtues and flaws. Much love.

Surya, it is my regret that so much time has passed since we last spoke. I heard that you were having a difficult time and only wished in my heart that i could have hung out with you a little more before you made your big transition. Many a good time did we have together discussing everything from world peace to navigating the wild path to a ladies heart. I do miss those encounters and will keep your memory fresh in my heart always. Go in peace brother......it won't be that long before i will...

Ron was a gift to my son - and we will miss him and remember forever. He saw something in our son that a lot of other teachers didn't see.

He pulled amazing depth from his collegues, his English students and his young actors and brought to all very diverse and unequaled opportunities and experiences. We thank you, Ron. With...

Surya! Obviously your very special talents were required elsewhere, but we'll miss your presence on this planet. You were always an inspiration for me as a brother clown and fellow sun yogi. As Vasishtha.spoke in the Mahabharata, "Sun god is the only visible and eternal deity who is highest among the gods and is the only source of energy, who never moves from his fixed position, who manifests the planets from himself in creation and absorbs it into himself at the time of destruction, into...
