Sun Two today…

Some of our guests today.

Ram Arora and his son Amit Arora with Siva Yoginathaswami.

Ram and Amit are very gracious hosts for visiting monks and shilpis who first arrive on Oahu. Ram owns an Indian restaurant in Honolulu. Amit regularly visits his father in Honolulu and is a resident of San Francisco. Both make frequent visits to the Kauai Aadheenam.

Local resident and long-time devotee of Gurudeva, Isani Alahan (left), hosts friends of her sister. Here are Larry and Pat Fikus from Grey Eagle, CA. in front of the beautiful hand-carved granite Umbrella Ganesha on the path to the Iraivan Temple. They are joined by two young ladies from San Francisco.

Arvind and Sanchita Raghavan with their two year old daughter, Minnoli, visiting from California.

Minnoli was quite insistent that her dad “take out” the ball in the lion’s mouth.

More progress photos from Our Mauritius Center.. with many hundreds of people coming to the monthly gatherings the sishya there are working to make the center more “crowd friendly” and safe…. bridge under renovation. The concrete surface, covered with a wood surface.

You can get some idea of the huge crowds. Inside the Ganesha mandapam, it is packed… these are people outside.

There is a shallow pool in front where one little boy took and unexpected dip recently.

The Spiritual park has a beautiful grove of mango trees…

A tall statue of Dakshinamurthy is there.

The large crowd on it’s way to the food stations for prasadam.

We would never have guessed years ago that our center in Mauritius would become such a magnet for devotees. It is all Lord Ganesha’s magic and the vision of Gurudeva manifesting.
