All is quiet at the Aadheenam… no special photos today. The Ganapati Kulam reported on their many endeavors. They have been very much focused on the final hours of production of the January 2007 issue of Hinduism Today, the wonderful new book, “What is Hinduism” and a special new booklet called “All About Kauai’s Hindu Monastery.”

We have just received the first bound galleys of the “What is Hinduism” book and we have this testimony from the printer who prepared it in Michigan:

Aloha Sivakatirswami!

The books (What is Hinduism) went out yesterday via FedEx 2 Day.

I wanted to say that it has been a pleasure working with you on this project. The books are works of art, and I must say that I have learned a great deal about Hinduism by virtue of osmosis. What a beautiful gift to the people of the world.

I am a practicing Theravada Buddhist, but never really learned much about Hinduism. I hope you will not mind if I hang on to the low res PDF for my own personal perusal, so I can read the whole book at my leisure.

The layout is a masterpiece. Not very often do we get a job in here that makes me proud to see the output that we’ve done, and lets me appreciate the art of print for the sake of beauty.

Thanks again for allowing me the pleasure of working on this job. I eagerly look forward to the next.
