It was a quiet but beautiful Sun Five today at the Aadheenam. Bodhinatha has been working with his editing team on Book Four of the Saiva Hindu Religion course for youth… every afternoon. And today Bodhinatha went through a giant pile of correspondence with his Ekadanta Kulam helper, Sadhaka Dandapani.

It was the Ganapati Kulam’s turn to share their Sivathondu report for the phase. Work is progressing on the artwork for Lemurian Scrolls which looks like it will be another incredibly beautiful volume. Living with Siva pocket book is moving forward, with a few karma yogis working on the assembly of the glossary under charya Kumarswami’s oversight. It is so wonderful that dozens and dozens of good souls around the world have found little ways to manifest Gurudeva’s many visions inhelping the mathavasis. Together, it is a true force.

A view that a visitor has from the publications building…

Todays visitors, of which you will hear more tomorrow, saw the magic of Kauai’s Hindu Monastery and said, “It is clear that one day this monastery and temple will be an Earth heritage center, like other great monuments and properties.”

This phase the whole team worked a full day on archiving and organizing the vast heritage of Gurudeva’s audio files. The transcription sevaks who are here and there transcribing Gurudeva’s talks are doing a great job and new recruits are starting to send in their first transcriptions. They really love listening to Gurudeva’s voice every day and are performing a great service.

Looking through the binoculars .. they will spy a remarkable sight in the distance…something wondrous to behold…

Vicki Hamilton, our monastic mother from Seattle, spent another day with her son, Yogi Japendranatha. They took long walks in the gardens, spent time sharing news of home, and had a special lunch together. Vicki is a talented ceramic sculptor, and we are encouraging her to add gold leaf to some of her works of art when she returns home. In fact, the monks gave her some 23-karat gold leaf to begin the new era of her creativity. All inspired by the radiant and rare golden towers of Iraivan, shown here in today’s photo.
