It’s Sun One of a new phase and we captured Bodhinatha as he left the temple this morning after our homa… Today he left for Florida.

Yogi Japendranatha performs the homa today.

Sadhaka Haranandinatha, the quiet and ever busy with some selfless service deva of the Lambodara Kulam, is accompanying Bodhinatha today. He hasn’t left the Aadheenam except for trips on Kauai for over five years. Sadhaka handles all the Iraivan Fundraising communications, takes a special interest in making sure our silpi team is well taken care of, does the daily San Marga puja and numerous other essential tasks we are all discovering as we cover his duties in his absence.

The away team at 9am this morning…

At airport, bound for Orlando, and, as Bodhinatha joked, “Not to go to Disney world… ” He was invited to grace the Maha Kumbhabhishekam of a new temple in Castleberry, just outside of Orlando. Click here to open the temple site in a new window if you are curious about the events.

Besides Bodhinatha, a number of other swamis from various locations are also coming to the event and Bodhinatha is looking forward to meeting some of America’s other Hindu religious leaders.

One of our sisters has come for a visit: this is Meenakshi Palani, sister of Sadhaka Jivanandanatha. Meenakshi has gone into the health services career after a stellar academic record at high school followed by some immersion programs where she traveled with some prominent Ayurvedic doctors. Meenakshi is now going to medical school to earn an osteopathic medical degree and looks forward to incorporating alternative medicine in her healing service in the future. This is her vacation after a very intense schedule of late.
