Here is Bodhinatha in Kuala Lumpur presenting Hinduism Today to a reporter from the Straits Times, in a 40-minute interview.

We’ve had many Hindu visitors in the past few days, but we will continue to bring the news from the missions overseas. Acharya Kumarswami brings us up-to-date with photos and captions from the last day in Kuala Lumpur and then two days in Singapore. Tomorrow, they begin their long journey home.

On the morning of the 8th at 10am Bodhinatha granted an interview with a reporter from the New Straits Times (http://www.nst.com.my)

Before the interview, the professional photographer took a series of photos of Bodhinatha. We stood behind him and got some nice ones of our own, including this one.

Presenting Hinduism Today.

…and a warm welcome in Singapore.

With Dohadeva at the wheel, we head for the hotel.

Sept 9 was devoted to the first day of the “Spiritualizing Daily Life” Seminar, arranged the the Singapore Mission members. Here we see Bodhinatha in the hall where he conducted the seminar.

Bodhinatha has just inaugurated the seminar by doing arati to a small shrine. Our camera, lense fogged over from the AC, captures a slightly obscured image.

Exuberant participants. At right Sivakumaran, who was most instrumental in coordinating the event.

We were so engrossed, that we forgot all about taking photos today, for the most part, more to come tomorrow. Here, however, is a shot of some of the majestic skyscrapers of Singapore that we viewed on the way back to the hotel.

In Singapore the second day of Bodhinatha’s seminar, “Spiritualizing Daily Life” began at 8am with a welcoming for the satguru.

Then an arati to Lord Ganesha.

It was a lively seminar for all.

A group photo to end the very successful event.

A few more photos from Mauritius of our Ganesha Chaturthi celebration at the Spiritual Park….. Devotees had a wonderful experience of the festival during the ceremony in the Mandapam.

Our leading singers of devotional songs for that occasion…

The Ganesha Homa at the Spiritual Park is becoming very famous in the island. Devotees burning their prayers are building a greater faith in the inner workings of Hinduism and are discovering the greatness of Lord Ganesha.
