Don’t miss the new link to Bodhinatha’s marvelous upadesha on the Body of the Soul, given on Sun one, that is posted today on the right side bar.

This is Dr. Vettivelu Maheswaran who visited with his entire family today. His father was Yogaswami’s personal physician for many years, and daily on his way to his clinic stopped at the Columbuthurai hut at 6am to give Yogaswami his insulin shot. Palaniswami recorded Dr. Maheswaran’s stories for the monastery archives, stories of Yogaswami’s naming all 8 of the children in their house, of what it was like to sit with such a great soul (“always uplifted us”,) and of how Yogaswami intervened in the Dr.’s career and made him change from a liberal arts track to a medical one.

Ganga and Jai Murugan with their daughter Gayatri are longtime devotees of Gurudeva and are here visiting on pilgrimage from Edmonton, Canada. Here they pose with Sivakatirswami outside the Kadavul Siva Temple.

Dr. Vattivelu Maheswaran’s son, Indran Subramaniam, with wife and two children, Eshan and Nesha, both four year old twins, and Meera Maheswaran.

Elizabeth Percival was an earlier devotee of Gurudeva’s and went on several Innersearch trips in the early 1970’s. She is very happy to be visiting Kauai and attended the daily pujas in the temple during her stay.

Another devout member of Indran’s family, Majeswari, who writes children’s stories and wishes to offer her writing talents for the children to the Aadheenam.
