It was a beautiful day at the Aadheenam. Many Hindu guests arrived, having come to Kauai for their holidays.

The Innersearch team is really focused now on preparations for departure.. only six days left.

The Siddhidata Kulam today gave a report. Yoginathaswami detailed the logistical challenges and operations now in progress to keep all the stones organized and ready for raising up to the roof of Iraivan. In India more containers are being prepared and after they ship, we will have about 70% of the roof beams for the temple here in Hawaii.
