Deepavali Tirukkutam in Malaysia
Report from Malaysia from Deepavali day from Kulapati Dhasan Sivanananda.
Our Saiva Siddhanta Church youths from Klang have been conducting Deepavali bhajans from house to house all week long.
Headed by Thiru Kailasam to collect donations for Iraivan temple. They sing some bhajans followed by few deepavali songs.
The youths plus some members joinde the group and they came to my place in Sri Segambut. We started at 4.30pm and went to nine different houses.
At each house we sang for half an hour.T he family members all felt very happy and encouraged us to conduct the program every year.
After the bhajan, we distribute Gurudeva’s photo, 3 rudraksha seeds from Kauai and vibhuti. Finally refreshment.

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.
