New Directional Tiles for the Flagpole
Our flagpole, where the banner of the ritau flies high, has an often-overlooked simple compass structure at its base.
This is a photo from last April.
While our eyes are always drawn up to the flags’ inspiring dance against the blue sky, the monks have prepared a beautiful upgrade for the base of the flagpole.
Palaniswami designed these tiles fifteen years ago, with a state of the art Macintosh of those days.
We had them made long ago, but they sat in a box waiting for the right time. For the monks, patience is a key element of good timing.
They will be installed soon.

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.
