Sun One of another phase, begins with a homa.

The temple is full of pilgrims this morning.

The Ganapati Kulam is working hard on the July issue of Hinduism Today. We have about 72 hours left to complete this new edition.

This family from Toronto came today. Mr. Nikhilananthan and his wife Jayanthi and sons Janarthan and Krishna. Originally from Sri Lanka, Tiru Nikhilananthan went the Africa, then UK in the 60s, later married and moved to Toronto. Jayanthi is the niece of Ma Navaratnam, long-time devotee of Siva Yogaswami who wrote several books about him. They had met Bodhinatha at the recent Yogaswami memorial celebrations in Toronto.

Paramacharya Palaniswami told them some adventures with Ma Navaratnam in Sri Lanka in the 70s and then shared with them all the work our monastic order is doing to preserve and carry forward the teachings of Yogaswami.

Then off to San Marga… first, Iraivan. Speaking of the Aadheenam and temple, Jayanthi said, “I never knew Yogaswami left all this behind for us.”

Meanwhile Kasi Ramanathan, his wife and their parents also enjoyed a trip to San Marga and then to the river.
