Bodhinatha has been working on the 3-year publication plans for the Ganapati Kulam and today the monthly Publisher’s Desk meeting was held with the Hinduism Today team which has just completed the January-March 2005 issue of Hinduism Today. Today’s meeting looked forward to the April issue. Some interesting plans in the works: more educational literature and a new emphasis on providing teaching tools for teacher and parents. We may send our Delhi correspondent, Rajiv Malik on assignment to Bali to cover a youth conference there and get more stories while he is there.

Potriyan Sivanathan from Malaysia has come on task force for a month. We have known him since he was still a baby in his mother’s arms. Today he’s a full grown intelligent 15-year old and is really proving to be a great help. In the mornings he has been serving in the Ganapati Kulam this phase and he helps the Siddhidata Kulam in the afternoon. Today he assists with the raising of stones…

We will let the rest of the image speak for themselves… see you next phase!
