Gurudeva in his office some years back with a new kitten. Our feline family are important assets to the aadheenam and Gurudeva also used the cats as a “tool” to assign one to a young monk whose duty it would be then to care for the cat for the duration of that cat’s life. It was both a test to see if the young monk had nurturing qualities and also an opportunity to train him to develop those qualities.
NOTE: Last day of phase…this is Sun Six and this TAKA will remain up until the evening of Wednesday, the 19th.

Today was tour day and we had a small group of bright souls who came to see the monastery land and temple.
Mrs. Carol Kahn, long time student of Gurudeva’s teachings came to visit and brought her niece Dara who is a marketing major studying at Santa Cruz, California. They were enthused to learn about the up-and-coming article in Hinduism Today on the issues of corporal punishment and inspired to hear more about Gurudeva’s global mission efforts to end corporal punishment of children the world over.
Paramacharya Ceyonswami takes a brief moment early in the morning to absorb the awesome view of Mount Waialeale. Many have experienced a powerful psychic ray of energy that runs down the middle of this mountain into the Earth. The “Lemurian Shastras” speak of how these actinic spiritual rays give a stability to the mass consciousness and were hooked into the planet at various locations many thousands of years ago. The early Hawaiians recognized the sanctity of the mountain and built a small shrine on the peak and pilgrimaged to the top every full moon.
