Tour Day at the Aadheenam
From yesterday’s tour day:

This inspired group moved together effortlessly through the many stops and sights like a beautiful large family.
With the silpis now working on the Nandi Mandapam the vision is expanding!
Our guests see the magic which is created when a small group of monks work together in harmony.
A father demonstrates to his sons the practice of Vasana Daha Tantra, (burning of problems) at the Puakenikeni mandapam.

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.
