Sadhu Paksha at the Aadheenam… all is quiet…

We want to share with you a poem sent but a pilgrim…

Om Namasivaya

In Admiration of Kauai Aadheenam
by Nannapaneni Narayana and Sarojini Rao
Urbana, Illinois

This poem is in admiration of Gurudeva’s Kauai Aadheenam
For which Satguru Bodhinatha is the Guru Mahasannidhanam
And where the monks are building the Iraivan Devalayam
The future home of the 700-lb Maha Sphatika Sivalingam.
~~~~~~~~~
To us Kauai Aadheenam is Kailasam of the west
Where we can best put our minds to rest
Appreciating the monks performing siva Homa one day
And Chitra Pada Puja to Gurudeva on another day
In the Kadavul Hindu Temple of Lord Nataraja
Accompanied by Lords Ganesha and Subramanya.
Yes, Kauai Aadheenam is Kailasam of the west
Where you can best your minds to rest
Performing Abhishekam to Narmada Lingam
Collecting the beads in the Sacred Rudraksha Vanam
Admiring the giant statue of Dakshinamurti
And touring the grounds with Sadhaka Dandapani.
We say when you are in India, you go to Kasi
When you are in America, you go to Kauai
Where they say the heaven and the earth meet
And we say the Iraivan Temple touches your heart
Yes, Kauai Aadheenam is Kailasam of the west
Where you can appreciate Hinduism’s best!
