Another wonderful morning on the Island of Kauai.
More and more Hindus from around the world are discovering our beautiful island Hindu temple.
Today Girish and Sushil Patel arrived from Georgia with Sushil’s sister Tara and Arvind Patel who live on Oahu. Arvind is a longtime subscriber to Hinduism Today. He also reads Gurudeva’s trilogy and is an Iraivan Temple donar. Sanjeev Kumar and Surbala Kumari are from Sunnyvale, CA with another young couple also from Calif. on their first visit to the Aadheenam.

This young couple is originally from Chennai and both feel very blessed to be here.
Almitra Zion and her two sons, Jade and Sequoia, arrived today. She was instrumental in helping find the large 700 lb Spatika Lingam in Arkansas in 1987. This beautiful crystal, now resting in the Kadavul Siva Temple, will be ceremoniously installed in the Iraivan Temple during the Maha Kumbhabishekam.
Tara and Arvind find that tree-hugging is most appropriate when hugging rudraksha trees.
Sanjeev and Surbala happily harvest rudraksha seeds covering the ground under the rudraksha trees lining the western perimeter of the Iraivan Temple complex.
