New Addition to Aadheenam Agricultural Endowment
Acharya Arumugaswami and Sadhaka Satyanatha were on Himalayan Acres today with members Durvasa Alahan and Thandu Sivanatha with hired workers Johnathan and Joe today.
The team prepared 5 gallon planters with soil and wood chips on top and potted almost 200 Agave plants. These grow to be gorgeous plants, five feet in diameter. It required 1,250 gallons of good dirt, hand-shoveled into the pots by brave souls.
We will plant 2,000 agaves over the next few days. When they are mature, the sale of this very popular plant will provide income to help maintain the cost of Himalayan Acres.

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.
