Bodhinatha giving his wonderful Sun One talk yesterday on a section from Merging with Siva. Don’t miss it… It’s on line today.

High above the Wailua River with Mt. Waialeale off in the distance and the sacred Iraivan Temple visible in the background, a visiting family from Seattle poses for a photo.

Somasundaram Ramanathan, his wife Vijaya, and their son, Arun (age 14) and daughter Soundaraya (age 11). All are originally from Chennai, India.

The Somasundaram family in front of the very beautiful Dakshinamurthy seated under a banyan tree.

Arun holds the blue-black granite chain, hand-carved by our silpis in Bangalore, which has visitors from all over the world wondering in amazement . . .

. . . and in front of the future entrance of the Iraivan Temple with Yoginathaswami and four of our very fine stone artisans.

Iraivan is looking really marvelous these days. With the roof top scaffolding one has a sense of the temple in it’s finished form.

A walk around the sanctum…
