Leili Came to the Temple Today
We let our little new heifer out in the morning to wander around the temple ground, stretch her legs and get strong. This morning she walk all the way to the temple all of her own accord.
Sivanathaswami says she placed both her feet over the threshold and moo’ed into the temple. He came and place a red pottu on her head and then she stepped out. It was very auspiciious.

Rebuilding our 7' shredder for Himalayan Acres
After seven or eight years of hard use, our heavy-duty Rhino mower was in need of major repairs. The mower deck had nearly rusted through. Over about four weeks ago, we set out with our hired farm manager Johnathan Anderson to do a thorough rebuilt, drawing on some basic knowledge of metal work augmented with a few choice YouTube videos. The work was completed and the mower is now ready to resume its rough life, good for another five years at least.
