Tour Day, May 9th


Title:

Each one of these bright smiling faces now knows a little of the magic of Kauai Aadheenam—how the monks live and work; their titanic dedication to a spiritual way of life and Gurudeva's vision of the San Marga Temple and Sanctuary. They now know a little about how our Satgurus and dedicated Swamis, Yogis, and Sadhakas are bringing forth a wonder of the modern world, overcoming countless challenges to sustain the Hindu path on earth for many future generations to come.

The journey is through a tropical garden of unimaginable color to many who come from arid or prairie states. We took a moment walking back to catch just 10 feet of the path with our camera. These are among hundreds of anthuriums that are here, there and everywhere on the monastery grounds.


There is Not Even One Wrong Thing

Ganesha Chaturthi


Each month there is one day that is extra special for Lord Ganapati, and the monks decorate Him elaborately. This takes a couple of hours. So, when all the monks came to Kadavul Temple for the 5:30am arati, he greeted us with this adorable visage. It was good timing, since it was also Tour Day, so about 110 visitors got to enjoy this alankara today.

Girish Samugam Receives Samaya Diksha


It was an auspicious day in Kadavul Temple as Girish Sanmuga received the Holy Panchakshara mantra, along with instructions for practicing the daily japa sadana from the lips of the Satguru. Girish has been close to the Aadheenam since he was a little boy, and this is the fulfillment of many years of work.
