During the full moon, Kauai Aadheenam celebrated Guru Purnima. This annual festival usually takes place on the full moon in July and, as the name suggests, it is a time of showing devotion and appreciation for our teachers. For our monastics and members it is a time of honoring our Satguru. The event began in the early morning hours with a chariot parade down San Marga, leading to the Svayambhu Lingam square. Once there, Satguru entered deep meditation and a padapuja was performed for him, thus honoring the holy feet of the Kailasa Parampara's revered preceptor. Aum.
