“Never use the word can’t, as it becomes very restrictive to the subconscious. If often used, it becomes almost an incantation. This is not good. As soon as we say, “I can’t,” all positive doors subconsciously close for us. The flow of pure life force is diminished, the subconscious is confused and we know we are going to fail, so we don’t even try. The solution to subconscious confusion is to set a goal for ourselves in the external world and to have a positive plan incorporating meditation daily as a lifestyle within that goal. Through this positive initiative and daily effort in meditation, awareness is centered within. We learn how to disentangle and unexternalize awareness.” –Gurudeva

Sun Three…In the mornings, Bodhinatha continues his daily training of Sadhaka Jivanandanatha in the areas of financial administration that he himself has been handling through the years. He has a three-year plan to complete this training and they are about half way through.

Today, the third day of the phase, we hear from the Pilliyar Kulam about all their activities. Shanmuganathaswami reports that he has found a cost effect way to get books to India or Mauritius by air for the same price if we were to ship them by sea ourselves. Muruganathaswami shared news of promotion of Bodhinatha’s latest book “Yoga’s Forgotten Foundations,” which is being reviewed in several major publications and will soon be on the market in a big way. Sadhaka Jothinatha share pictures from the Washington conference where we had a booth displaying Himalayan Academy literature. Sadhaka Jivanandanatha shared his progress in training under Bodhinatha as well as his work on our new internet shop site which will be running from our own new server at the OLM data center in Connecticut.

TRAVEL NEWS! Bodhinatha’s next visit is July 23-27 to Houston, Texas. See travel page for more information.

This morning the gold leaf team finished Gurudeva’s murthi…

---

He looks so happy as they take him back into the temple.

---

Gurudeva shining so brightly.

---

Looking at Gurudeva we sense what Saint Tirumular has written about:

Transcending the Ego and the thirty six categories,
The liberated soul comes to know the Self.
In the purified state of vigilant awareness,
Guruparan’s grace pervades in radiant peace.

Steeped in the realized experience of peace,
In union with Siva in bliss divine,
Immersed in ethereal felicity of silence,
The manifest self is in tune with eternal beatitude.

–Tirumantram. 2509-2510

Next, the statue of Yogaswami was taken out of the Guru Peedam to gold leaf the base and touch up areas on the murthi that were gold leafed years ago.

Kauai is a premier honeymoon destination and with the write-up about Kauai’s Hindu Monastery and Iraivan Temple in the Ultimate Kauai Guidebook, which almost every tourist will pick up at the airport… it’s seems like a grand plan by Lord Ganesha to get in touch with the moms and dads of the next generation who will most certainly return again and again with their children…

This is Michael and Kapila Viges on their honeymoon from Michigan. They had already chosen to come just to Kauai, and then heard about our monastery/temple from devotees at the Lansing, Michigan temple, who encouraged them to stop by.

---

They were very happy to see Iraivan Temple under construction, and took many granite pieces home with them to share with family members and the Lansing temple. They also obtained the books Dancing with Siva and How to Become a Hindu from our Minimela giftshop.

Later in the day another couple just married on July 10th arrived (not pictured).
