New Counter for the Satguru

Kanda Alahan has been here working on the installation of new cabinetry for Bodhinatha's quarters. Kanda crafted all of it back in his California workshop, shipped it disassembled to Kauai and worked under the supervision of Vishvanathaswami to assemble and install it. It was finished yesterday. Congratulations to the Siddhidatta Kulam team. Bodhinatha returned from his journey yesterday to find his life improved in a useful way. Mahalo nui loa, Kanda.
