Calvert Plaster Caster once Hindu monk in India rises in Texas life
Jack Raymond Unger, 46, once a Hindu monk living in 22 Indian monasteries, now runs the House of Decor in Calvert with Gracia Casey. He hosted Swami Muktananda in 1970, spoke to Indian students at A&M, and credits intense study in India with shaping his faith into Baptist beliefs while raising his daughter Casey and managing a plaster decor business shipping 10 to 15 tons monthly. He recounts six hours a day of mental training, isolation in Himalayan monasteries, and encounters with Ananda Mayi, noting his global journey ended with U.S. citizenship and a deeper spiritual outlook.
