A series of images from recent days.

Today we started off the phase with a powerful Homa fire.

Title: Chitra Puja

We celebrated this Months Chitra Puja and the feet of our beloved Gurudeva.

Part 1 of an inspired talk about God Siva, worship of Siva, how ceremonies in the temple and the devotion of those present open a hole to the inner world through which God can project cosmic rays of blessing to us. httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Katawwnlo8M

One of our larger, and at times more dangerous cow's got loose and decided to eat a wide veriety of our decorative plants. She eventually went back in without a fuss.

With Summer in full bloom many of our Asian guests are more than surprised to find a Hindu monastery and Siva Temple tucked away at the top of Kuamoo Road. When asked how they found us - we hear a litany of familiar responses. "Our concierge told us about it." - "The waiter at the restaurant told us we had to come." Gurudeva's wisdom in integrating and serving the people of Kauai and not staying "aloof" or separate from the community has created a deep respect and appreciation for the monastery island wide. Many people fear what they don't understand or anyone who is different. Leave it to Gurudeva's mastery and unconditional love to create a home for generations of monks to come who will be embraced by the people of Kauai.
