Havan at Iraivan
Stepping back to yesterday afternoon we had a marvelous event at Iraivan. A palanquin was prepared and beautifully decorated to carry Gurudeva’s padukas to Iraivan.
Gurudeva’s sandals are in this silver tray.
Our silpis have the honor of carrying the palanquin
Yogi Jivanandanatha performs the yagna.
All the devotees are invited to come forward and make offerings to the sacred fire.
Monks chant a special version of Sri Rudram where verses are interspersed with “Svaha!”
Now the return parade to Kadavul temple after circumambulating Iraivan.
There was a magnificent sunset in progress over Waialeale.
Everyone is awestruck by the light show from the skies.

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.
