Iraivan Gold Leafing Complete (and it shines!)

The gold leaf work is complete and how magnificent it is! Pilgrims this morning commented “Photos can never do justice to what they really look like!”

But we have a slideshow below that can help you visualize what the real temple looks like.

Here is the Vimanam.

This is a Chinna Gopuram before…

and after! We want to thank all the donors for their generous help to turn Iraivan into a shining manifestation of the Sivaloka here in the Bhuloka!

Title: Niyama Ten: Tapas
Category: Soul
Duration: 15 min, 4 secs
Date Given: 2012-01-11
Given by: Bodhinatha
Description: Tapas is to practice austerity, serious disciplines, penance and sacrifice which increases the speed at which we are moving forward on the spiritual path. Daily sadhanas and penance to atone for misdeeds are obligatory. Austerities, assigned and overseen by a guru, give a great sense of release from the past, a profounder understanding of the path and deepening of one's worship and meditation. Meditation on Ishana and Tatpurusha: veiling and revealing grace. All along we are Siva and finally that dawns on us.
