New Phase Begins With An Auspicious Homa
We started Sun One with a homa and an inspiring upadesha from Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami.
Little Shama Sendan had her head shaved and received her Chudakarana Samskara this morning. Bodhinatha blessed her with sandalwood paste on her head.
She was very quiet and seemed blissful to be so blessed.
Bodhinatha gave an excellent bhashya, or explanation, on Gurudeva’s teachings about how the intellect is a tool for the soul.

Bodhinatha's Latest Upadesha: "Detachment from Experiences; Importance of Daily Vigil" (May 5, 2013)
All experiences are good experiences, necessary to get us here. Awareness of aspects of ourselves that are constantly changing is a liberating perception, breaking our chains to mundane areas, detaching from instinctive and intellectual to go into superconscious. The greatest challenge facing youth today is the lack of relating to the devotional side of Hinduism. Daily practice, daily vigil, moves us forward spiritually. Commentary on Merging with Siva, The Master Course, Lesson 21.

I really appreciate and enjoy the daily description of Kauai Aadheenam events and pictures; it allows me to feel almost as a participant myself. I am somehow especially moved by images of the homa fire. It is the first thing I turn to in the morning after reading the daily lesson.
Thank you for providing this each day!
