Sadhu Paksha Day 1

Bodhinatha is prepared for departure tomorrow and today he and the editing team put on the final touches of his Keynote Presentation, (an Apple MacIntosh presentation program that shows slides on screen), which he will be taking with him as he travels.

Meanwhile the Aadheenam has a new addition under development.. a visitor info center out front where we will have literature and a small library for pilgrims. We decided to simply purchase an existing small building on the north side of the island, cut it in half, bring it up on a flatbed truck and put it back together again! Yes, its true… of course major renovations will be done…

Here is Sadhaka Dandapani who will be traveling with Bodhinatha to Toronto, New Jersey and Edmonton. He also did all the advance coordination. Here is his very cool itinerary, done in Excel with similar events in color. Green time slots are for travel-transit times. Purple time slots are temple visits. Orange time slots are teaching sessions. Light Blue time slots are for darshan sessions and meeting people.

But, where are the yellow time slots for rest and breaks! Oops. there are none… a busy 13 days!

See the Guru Travels Page for details and events that you might attend if you live in the areas Bodhinatha will be visiting. And the page has been updated to include all Bodhinatha’s missions through October, 2005

Sannyasin Arumugaswami stands with “THE BOOK” which is our term for the galleys of the latest edition of the magazine, all finished and assembled in one binder.

All the composition, color correction and editing was completed today, for the October, 2005 issue, which is printed in August, and shipped in the first week of September and on the shelves in newsstands by September 15th. We work very far in advance.

One more issue of Hinduism Today ready to go to the press!

Lord Ganesha is the star for this issue. Here He is on the cover… and the educational Insight Section is a special 16-page piece on our beloved Ganapati.

Iraivan, quiet in the distance… resting. But not for long… six new silpis are on their way…
