Beginning the New Phase
The new lunar week has just begun for the monks, and happens to be aligned with the rest of the world's standard workweek for the time being. The morning began with a warm sunrise which lit up the treetops and Mount Waialeale.
The monks gathered in Kadavul for the morning homa to begin their week in sync with the Devas and Mahadevas who guide our work. Satguru has returned from his travels and was their to oversee the homa and to offer a delightful upadesha about the intellect, following the event.
"It is not a simple thing to control the mind. It cannot be done in a day, or even in a year. Through constant effort thoughts can be controlled a little. In this way the uncontrollable mind can finally be brought under control. This is the supreme victory." Siva Yogaswami
