Dr. Narayana Rao and wife, Sarojini met with Bodhinatha today.

Here’s Dr. Rao taking Bodhinatha through a power point presentation that he put together.

The first presentation is a photo tour of the entrance to the aadheenam from the Nepali Ganesha shrine all the way to Kadavul temple with nice descriptions.

He actually prepared three presentations which he had taken with him on his recent trip to India and shared it with many students, lecturers and dignitaries. His mission is to share with the world the wonderful place called Kauai Aadheenam that our Gurudeva created.

He also updated Bodhinatha on the plans the Hindu community in Champaign, Illinois, have on wanting to build a temple there.

Dr. Narayana Rao and wife Sarojini visited the publications office and shared their plans to produce more Powerpoint presentations on Kauai Aadheenam, on Hinduism Today and other educational topics. They are great pilgrims, always full of light and creative ideas. They fly back to Illinois tomorrow.

This week the Ganapati Kulam has the special joy of the presence of young Nutanaya from Malaysia. He is helping us with some old Gurudeva recordings and a variety of other tasks. Nutanaya is going home soon and we hope he returns many times.

We received from England pages and pages of AUM NAMASIVAYA.

These mantrams were painstakingly hand-written during Sivaratri last month.

About a 80 or so 6th grade children from the Kappa Middle School came here today on their “Hindu Temple field trip”. Despite the rain they were in joyful spirits and were fascinated with the stone carving out at Iraivan Temple. Each left with a small piece of granite stone.
