Jai Ganesha!

We have created three wonderful applications for everyone around the globe to enjoy. The idea was to develop apps where people can access some of our teachings and educational materials, allowing them to explore and learn more about these topics.

The first application is the Hinduism Today app. Through this app, you can read all of our latest and archived magazine articles. You will receive updates and new issues instantly, without any delays. Additionally, all the access you have on the website will be available in the app as well.

The second application is the Spiritual Workout app, one of our most popular apps. It is currently only available on iOS, but will be made available on the Play Store for Android users later this year. The Spiritual Workout app was created for those seeking a tool to enhance their meditation and prayer practices. You can set timers for your meditation sessions and daily sadhanas. This app was designed with the intention of providing users access to various methods of meditation, enabling them to carry their spiritual practice with them wherever they go, without the need to carry multiple books.

The third application is the recently rebuilt Gurudeva app, which is a wonderful app those who have followed Gurudeva and his teachings for many years. This app provides random quotes from Gurudeva, many of which have had a profound impact on people’s lives. The app also lets users share and save quotes to read later, especially when they need inspiration.

The images below show the options available in these applications:

Tomorrow we have a boon in the Sacred Garden. Siva has arranged for another part-time (20 hours a week) helper to keep the landscape in order. In the tropics the biggest challenge is not growing things, but keeping them from taking over the world. There is an ongoing need to cut back the foliage, mow, weedwhack, trim, prune, weed and such. And as CyberCadets know, we have 70 acres to tend to, some with intense needs and much with moderate demands.

We decided to celebrate the additional manpower with two before and after slide shows. There is a charm in these before and after images revealing the same subject years apart. They make us time travelers as we sit in the now and take a one second journey to the past. In an instant we can experience decades of effort and progress. Today we have two such adventures, both near Iraivan Temple. The temple aerial looks down to the right into Rishi Valley, which is the mudflats in the first slider.

The heavily used back road going towards the new Siddhidata Kulam building has a culvert to channel downslope rainwater. It’s easy for gravel and debris to be pushed off the road and start blocking the culvert. To prevent this, and also for the safety of vehicles crossing the narrow space, a thick cement barricade was created on the edge. The other side is being prepared for the same.

In the new Siddhidata Kulam building office, SSC sishya Easvan Param was just here with a team to install electrical materials for the office and also plan for a solar panel installation on the roof. After he finished, our employees and monks are just finishing installation insulation in all the walls.

Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami’s October 2024 Publisher’s Editorial from Hinduism Today Magazine.

“We all know individuals who don’t connect their inner life to their outer life. They give meditation a high priority when they sit to meditate and want to go within. Outside of meditation, when they are at work or school, they don’t apply the same level of willpower and concentration. Some even belittle ordinary life, taking a “whatever” attitude: “It doesn’t matter as much. The inner life—that’s what’s important. The outer life—that’s something to be endured.” What’s wrong with such an attitude?”
