Jai Ganesha! As many have seen in our latest posts, Yoginathaswami and Nirvani Tejadevanatha recently visited Malaysia. A large part of their mission was to hold youth workshops (and maybe even recruit a few monks for our monastery!). Yoginathaswami came up with the brilliant idea to do a short video about the monastery and monastic life. So, our monks collectively came up with a plan to create a video that showcased the beauty of the monastery and featured what the monks do and what kind to teachings monastic life provides. Kodiswara was given the special task of creating the video. He interviewed the monks, asking questions prepared by our GK members. Our mathavasis gave some wonderful answer to all the questions, greatly enhancing the quality of the video. The video was played for all the members and students who attend the workshops in Malaysia. As few people around the globe tend to understand what a monastic life is like, we thought this video would help to inspire and educate youngsters about this great monastic path. The video was initially only intended for the workshop, but we thought with would make a great addition to TAKA. We hope it gives everyone a new insight into monastic life at Kauai Aadheenam. Grab some popcorn and enjoy!

I am a 71 year old, healthy, senior man… I am contemplating moving to Kauai from my current home on Maui. I have multiple degrees, including a Masters Degree in the History of Religion at UCLA. Is there any chance I could do some volunteer work for you? anything from publication and editing work to doing landscaping work and gardening. It’s late in my life now, but have always been interested in the idea of living in a religous community and becoming a monastic. May I meet you and see if there might be a place me in your monastic community, even if for a short while and we could get to know each other? I would entertain a visit of a month or more so that you could get to know me. My email is md@sonic.net and my cell is: 808-214-4426 Namaste!!
