Bodhinatha departed today for a nine-day trip. He arrives late tonight in Los Angeles, will spend the day there, then on to Washington, D. C., then to Montreal, and back through Concord, California.

Everyone walks down to the information office to send Bodhinatha on his way. The landscaping along the path is full of remarkably colored Coleus plants.

OK, we are off for another mission…

See you back soon, Yoginathaswami!

Another picture from a retreat day trip to Himalayan Acres. The tree planting efforts by Sadhaka Adinatha are doing very well.

Here is Sannyasin Arumugaswami standing next to one of the larger Honduras Mahogany tree, planted just one year ago. It can reach a height of 150 feet and six feet in diameter at the base!

The tree has done very well in test plantings, and within a few months an additional three acres are planned. See http://www.exotichardwoods-southamerica.com/mahoganygenuine.htm
