Here is Bodhinatha in New Zealand on the last Innersearch. We invite you all to the next one. An up-to-date itinerary of the next innersearch is now available. Right-click if you want to get full details on the trip in 2008. Mystic Mouse has more to say about this at the end of today’s TAKA.

At the Aadheenam it is the last day of the phase and Bodhinatha and Sivakatirswami went to the local Interfaith Round Table of Kauai meeting that happens each month. One of the regular participants gave a marvelous presentation on conflict management and mediation that is being presented in schools around the island. One other participant said “This is really great material and all adults need it too!”

Though Paramacharya Palaniswami has been in Mauritius for the last 5 days, he and Yogi Jivanandanatha found a bit of time to catch up and sent us two movies and a slide show from their last days in India.

In the first movie, Mrs. Choodie Shivaram, long time correspondent for Hinduism Today, who lives in Bangalore, India, gives her testimony on what her association with Hinduism Today has meant to her through the years.

Then follows a slideshow and movie of our team’s last days in Chennai.

A wonderful group of visitors from a previous day returned for the 9 a.m. puja and a tour of the waterfalls and lotus ponds.

The Patels, the Shuklas, and the Shahs…

On their way to the Bali Hai waterfalls.

. . . and down to the sacred Wailua River

Ramesh Patel with a friend at the waterfalls. “We just love this beautiful place,” said Ramesh.

We bring you a few more photos of the Ganesha Homa at the Spiritual Park. The only pool now on the right side of the Ganesha Mandapam looks beautiful again.

Paramacharya Palaniswami and Yogi ceremoniously welcomed at the steps of Ganesha Mandapam….

The dancers did gracefully well on the bridge….

First row from the left, kulamatas Selvon, Premila and Mooneesawmy…..

The elaborate Homa which created a high spiritual vibration….

Seated on the steps are Kulapati Moorghen and Navind Sagam

Paramacharya Palaniswami and Yogi finding their way through the crowd. Everyone wants to touch swami’s feet. Kulapati Manon is leading the way.

Devotees even followed Paramacharya Palaniswami and Yogi up to the Muruga Mandapam at the far end of the property.

During the rudraksha plant ceremony Paramacharya Palaniswami broke a coconut….

A small book stand has been set up down the main entrance to sell the Church publications. On Homa days the space at the Mini Mela cannot cater for the large crowd coming in. The Himalayan Committee has always been supporting the Mini Mela on festivals selling outside in a stall on the property. Today a few Master Course students are happy doing this seva …

A few books displayed…..

Paramacharya Palaniswami thanked all those helping there…..

The visit now over for this Sunday’s Homa ….Paramacharya Palaniswami asked for a souvenir photo with all his young bodyguards…
