During these few weeks of Sadhua Paksha, the monastics have been enjoying a different morning routine. Instead of their usual group Siva puja and meditation they are rising before the sun to walk through nature and perform their sadhana. These are a few images from their mystical wanderings.

On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima, the trustees of the Alaveddy Subramuniya Temple Trust, with the blessings and approval of Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, have appointed Mr. Sathananthan Kanistan as a new trustee of our Alaveddy Subramuniya Temple Trust.
By appointing Mr. Kanistan, we are bringing in the next generation to carry forward Gurudeva’s legacy in Sri Lanka on into what he loved to call “the future of futures.”
The current trustees are:
Mrs. Sivalosany Kanagaratnam
Dr. Aru Thirumurugan
Mr. Sathananthan Kanistan
Kanistan is 22 years old and has been associated with our Subramuniya Kottam since he was five years old. He studied at our Kottam school, conducts pujas, and is actively involved in all of the Kottam’s educational and community outreach activities.
He managed the accounting for the new Alaveddy Temple project and has proven his abilities and dedication. He is deeply committed to our Guru Parampara.
The monks in Hawaii celebrate this new appointment and know Kanistan will add his youth, intelligence and spiritual dedication to the task.

Jai Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami!
On July 19th we celebrated Guru Purnima at Iraivan Temple. While there was a live stream, we though it would still be nice to share some belated photos of the event.
“Upon the connection between Guru and shishya, the spirit of parampara travels, the spirit of sampradaya travels. It causes the words that are said to sink deep. They don’t just bounce off the intellect, the message goes into the individual. Spiritual force doesn’t just happen.” – Gurudeva
