More Purnima Vows - Nirvani, Yogi and Samaya and Vishesha Dikshas

Jai Ganesha!
Vel Muruga!
Jai to the Kailasa Parampara!
Aum Namah Sivaya!

Following Guru Purnima, we had several other events. As seen in a previous post, our newest Sadhaka and Supplicant took vows. Also during this time, we had the formal vow renewals of Nirvani Tejadevanatha and Yogi Haranandinatha. Both of these exemplary monks were blessed by Satguru as they formally continue their lifetimes of discipline and inner striving.

Also, we're happy to announce that Vani Chenganna has received Samaya Diksha, an initiation to recite the panchakshara mantra "Aum Namah Shivaya." Just one year ago, Vani visited Kauai to take her Vrata Shishya vows.

Next, Vasanthakumari received Vishesha Diksha with many blessings from Satguru, Gurudeva and the Guru Parampara.

All in all, an enriching and wonderful few weeks, full of renewed and rewarding inner and outer dedications.

Aum Namah Sivaya. Sivaya Namah Aum.
