Sun Three
Today is Sun Three and the Siddhidata Kulam gave news of their activities. Every day they spend 1.5 hours picking fruits and vegetables for all of us. They have really mastered the garden and recent sunny weather had helped a lot. Almost all the vegetables we eat now are grown right here at Kauai Aadheenam. We don’t even buy potatoes any more, substituting breadfruit, cooking bananas and other root vegetables. This self-sustainability and pure nourishment was one of Gurudeva’s big goals for the monks and the Siddhidata Kulam is to be congratulated for getting us there!
Amazing Photos by Thushyanthan
Master Course student, Thushyanthan Amritalingam from Calgary, works in IT but otherwise is a top-notch photographer. He also takes photos into Adobe Lightroom and retouches them. We could not resist sharing with you this amazing series. He has taken color photos and turned many of them into sepia or black and white images. The effect is amazing.

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.
