Afterwards, Paramacharya Palaniswami gave a delightful talk, beginning with stories from the biography of Milarepa, Tibet's Great Yogi, then offering parallels with Gurudeva's life. He then read passages from the unpublished book, with stories of Gurudeva's years in Sri Lanka back in 1949.

A nice form of the flame caught in the first picture!
Brilliant as each soul I suppose…
This reminds me of Lord Ganesha who destroyed the ego of fire!!
Jai Ganapati!
Aum Namah Sivaya!

Wish I’d been in the temple this morning to hear about my favorite historical hero, Milarepa, and the parallels with Gurudeva’s life. In the TAKA photo, Palaniswami is in the same pose as Milarepa on the cover of his biography.
