2012 Gurudeva Mahasamadhi Day 2
This morning began with chanting, singing, arati, and a silent meditation in Gurudeva's presence.
Remembering Gurudeva And His Gifts to Us
Prostration and Vanakam Swami,
Here as some slides we prepared for Mahasamadhi in remembrance of Gurudeva. Thinking of our beloved Satguru.
I could vividly recall the wonderful words His Holiness said to me, "I am in You and You are in Me" back in 2001 when I visited Aadheenam. I has profound impact on me that set my whole life direction towards self-discovery and showed me a wonderful path & religion, Saiva Siddhanta.
Jai Satguru!

Visit to Satya Narayanaswami Temple
Last February when Bodhinatha was in Bangalore Sivasri Sundramoorthy Sivachariyar told him his brother-in-law had just opened a temple in Canada. He thought it would be great blessing if Bodhinatha could visit the temple. Here Bodhinatha with Sivasri Chandrashekara Sivachariyar (far left) and other priesst from the Bangalore Padasala. He also started a padasala right in this temple to train priesst and teach religion. He invited Bodhinatha to come on a weekend so that he can organize an event for the temple devotees.
A Thank You for 2011 Mahasamadhi
A devotee sends thoughts on the Mahasamadhi Observances for our Gurudeva, Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, October 20-24, 2011, Kauai.
Dear Devas,
I am sitting quietly the day after the last day of our observance of our dear Gurudeva's transition ten years ago, Am feeling so full that often words are hard to come by. So many loving souls reunited after short and long periods of time, as if the continuum of our common bond was never ended, just put on hold by time and space. I see faces, shining in radiance, beaming with joy, voices expressing gratitude which brings lumps to the throat and bursting of the heart. It must be a beautiful show for those endowed with the vision to see!
There were devotees from Malaysia, from Singapore, from Mauritius, our northern neighbor Canada, as well as from many parts of the United States. We received such abundant and loving hosting (and feeding!) from our Kauai families who provided transportation, prepared delicious repasts and shared the fragrant and luminous flowers of the islands. And there was our beloved Bodhinatha, quietly and self-effacingly inwardly drawing our awarenesses to our souls, gently, gently, invisibly. Our mathavasis with lessons and stories, working in the background, and perhaps communicating silently while commingling with us as we shared bits of our everyday lives.
The mantle had been passed, and now worn with a transparent authority and continuity--our sampradaya as is our Iraivan, built to last a thousand years and beyond.
