Aum Namah Sivaya

Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami gives his weekly Upadesha in Kadavul Temple at Kauai Aadheenam. Here Satguru reads from Sivaya Subramuniyaswami’s Master Course Trilogy, discussing the Jnana Pada, the stage of evolution is which the individual has attained realization and abides in the resulting wisdom. A stage commonly misunderstood as a mere intellectual understanding of the inner path and philosophy.

Aum Namah Sivaya!

Happy Ardra Nakshatra!
Today our monks celebrated Siva's most beloved star with our monthly abhishekam to Nataraja in Kadavul Temple. We are also about to change our seasons from the Nartana Ritau to the Jivana Ritau, which happens in the next few days. Thanks to the generosity of a wonderfully devotional devotee in Chicago, Satguru's lion's seat in the Guru Pitham has a new change of coverings for the cushions, pillows and bolsters. Today our monks made that change, installing these bright oranges and yellows to be enjoyed throughout the late summer and fall. Aum.

Recently, a wonderful gift arrived at the Aadheenam. A gift specially prepared for Satguru and his monks on the occasion of Guru Purnima. As expressed in the note below, The Gurus Holy Feet is a book of rich and varied testimony, alluding to the magic and power of our guru parampara. Enjoy the stories which come from all parts of the globe. It begins with a note from the Ragade family who engineered it. Aum Namah Sivaya! Namaskar, Enclosed is a gift, for Satguru Bodhinatha and the monks, on the occasion of Guru Purnima. It has come into manifestation as an outpouring of love and devotion from the Saiva devotees across the planet. On a very short notice, they opened their heart and soul, shared testimonies on how the guru parampara has touched and transformed their lives. There are many who have contributed in seen, unseen ways. Indivar and Ramai shared priceless pictures. Easanji and Sundariji strongly supported the project, disseminating it to their local Satsang members, mission members. Vandana, Ramai, Barathy, Sheela, Jivaji all assisted by reaching out to their local missions. Deva Seyonji reached out to the Kauai members, and sent in personal testimony despite a hectic personal schedule. Please present it to Satguru on Guru Purnima. With eternal love and gratitude, The Ragade Family PS: Shreya played a very big role in the formatting and reformatting.
