His name is Mahant Anand Giri, also known as Anna Baba.
Although he is from South India his primary ashram is in Pokhara, Nepal.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting him when we were both visiting the ashram of his brother Bun Giri Baba in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Below are a few images of devotees receiving his blessings (darshan) along with other moments from my time with him. It was a pleasure meeting him. I hope our paths cross again.
