It was tour day today. Rajagopal and his wife from Boston, original from Tamil Nadu, visited yesterday and today and wandered the grounds and met with Bodhinatha and ask some questions.

Out at Iraivan the big development is the work on Iraivan’s roof. In the on-going search for new media creation and delivery tools we bring you today yet another kind of slide show: this time a Quicktime Interactive movie, easily built in Keynote and export to Quicktime. From Paramacharya Palaniswami’s Natha Productions Studio… the Iraivan Roof Begins, slide show.

Silpis at work on stones before they to the roof.

Photos just landed from Bodhinatha’s arrival home from the Memphis 4D Summit.

This is Hindu Heritage Endowment in action. One of the funds is the Saivite Tamil Foundation Endowment which is set up with this purpose:

“The purpose of this fund is to provide financial support for the advancement of Hinduism within the Tamil Saivite community. Specifically, the fund will support Hindu activities for children and the elderly through the Tamil Saivite Foundation.”

Copies of the books for the children were sponsored by HHE
