Bodhinatha is working on a some pamphlets on the basics of shum describing the basic alphabet, chakras, dimensions and the 12 monthly meditations called “Mamasane.” All to be unfolded later this year.

It is quiet at the Aadheenam. The Siddhidata Kulam reported on their activities this phase: mostly working on all their “routines” which comprise a carefully scheduled system of maintenance of equipment ground, machines, vehicles, garden etc. all tracked in our database.

We continue to push forward on posting Bodhinatha’s talks with the steady help of Hitesvara Saravan who is transcribing them for us. We are now posting talks he gave in July of 2006 and gradually catching up. Watch the side bar link on the right for updates daily, or every few days.

Pilgrims Mahendran Kanappa, Krishnamurthy Seenivasan, and Thenagaran Anippan Rammiah all visiting from Singapore.

They take lessons on Gurudeva’s teachings from Kulapati Doha Deva in Singapore.

Yesterday they visited the Iraivan Temple site. Today they went to the Narmada Lingam where they did abhishekam with milk.

They are very impressed with all that they have seen and experienced here.

Today was tour day! Siva came to see us in many bright and smiling forms. Here is the 9 am group.

Tour days are always a wonder and a display of the spiritual power that permeates Kauai Aadheenam. People share small bits about their spiritual life, talk about how special it was to come and how much they can feel God here. Emotions are often intense. A visitor shared that he had never felt so unconditionally loved. Sometimes people weep just because of the feeling of being in Siva’s home in the West.

Our 11 am tour group. Around 120 or more total today.

The groups today had many questions and were very eager to know more about Hinduism. One man had lived in Kauai for seven years, and never felt ready to come until today.

A very sweet lady well-versed in the native hawaiian language was here today, with a big mino’aka (smile) always on her face. She told us of a word in Hawaiian that reminded us of the spiritual practice of living in the now: “i keia la,” which means “in this sun.” Not the next time the sun rises, not yesterday, but just “i keia la.”

Mahalo to all who came.
