It is the last day of the phase and all eyes are focused on departure for Australia and New Zealand.

The Ganapati Kulam gave their report today. Much work going on for Innersearch, Hinduism Today Digital Edition Software initiatives, articles for Hinduism Today April issue and many, many other projects…

END OF PHASE
Today is the last day of our phase.
This edition of TAKA will remain posted
over our coming two-day retreat,
until Dvitya Tithi, Sun One, Sunday, January 1st, 2006

We set a record today for guest on tour day: over 150 people possibly 200, we will never know for sure!

Meanwhile our Siddhidata Kulam team is working up on the temple scaffolding, making ready the next stone movements by the giant crane.

The many guide books, including “101 One Things To Do on Kauai” (of which visiting the monastery and temple are two of the recommendations) is drawing huge crowds. Things will quiet down next week as everyone returns to work and school.

We are experiencing an unusually long series of clear dry days on Kauai island. Here is a view of the West Gopuram that is being worked on today by the Indian sculptors.

We will see you all again in 2006! A Happy New Year to you, may it be rewarding, spiritually uplifting and joyous.
