We began another Sun One with homa today. Bodhinatha gave another spontaneous inspired talk on Shum, drawing on Merging with Siva. It will be posted later this phase.

Meanwhile, Paramacharya Palaniswami and Yogi Jivanandanatha have flown to from Mauritius and had meetings in Mumbai and are now in New Delhi once again.

We have a number of movies and slideshows to share with you from their trip. We will catch up with them over time. Today we continue with news and events from the Mauritius portion of their journey.

All were present for the morning puja in the Kadavul Siva Temple which was followed by an enjoyable tour of the Iraivan Temple on this very beautiful day.

We continue with a few photos of Paramachariya Palaniswami’s visit to the island f Mauritius. A few contributors of the Spiritual Park who could make it, attended a meeting on Saturday with Paramachariya. Kulapati Manon Mardemootoo is here introducing Paramachariya and Yogi to the guests present …

Paramachariya Palaniswami introduced everyone to kauai Aadheenam through the Kauai’s visitors booklet, a similar copy of which is being planned for Spiritual Park of Mauritius in the near future.

Paramachariya Palaniswami talked about plans for the upgrading of the Spiritual Park for the future, waterways down the property which would not only retain the moisture of the soil but would enhance the lush green vegetation, a stone wall around the property and a few pavilions for teachings, for selling the Church publications, for food serving, a large shelter close to the Ganesha Mandapam to provide shade and protect devotees from the rain, and the large Narmada Sivalingum from India that may be close to the Ganesha Mandapam ……

It was a nice meeting with a few of the guests asking some questions. Then everyone stood up for a souvenir photos. The Spiritual Park is being maintained at present thanks to all these contributors who voluntarily donate to the Park through love offering or supporting specific projects.

Mrs. Nivedita Nathoo runs a modern Ayur Vedic massage clinic in the North and she also chairs an important Women’s organisation in the island. She has been very supportive of the Park. She attended the Seminar on “What is Hinduism?” conducted by Paramachariya Palaniswami at Quatre Bornes.
