However, Mother Olson talks about Rishi H's lean, ascetic face and from all the pictures I've seen of Hubbard, lean and ascetic are not the first two characteristics that spring to mind. Healthy and robust, perhaps, but not lean and ascetic. I'd heard long ago (source forgotten) that Rishi H was (lean and ascetic) Herman Hesse, who, if I remember correctly, was in Southern California around that time.
