The “LM” code on the other copy of this photo suggests that it was taken by Eliot Elisofon in 1949 for Life Magazine. It’s a spectacular picture that appears to have been made by a photographer of Elisofon's talents, and it’s in his style. Nevertheless we think the ashram may have chosen this designation by mistake. Ramana looks younger than he was in that year, and we haven’t found a copy of the photo with Life’s watermark on it.
