Manickam Family with Bodhinatha
Manickam family-- Sishyas Rajkumar, Ananda and daughter Saroja Devi are here on pilgrimage from Colorado.
Saroja’s father Rajkumar took a photo of her, which she then uploaded onto the SSC website as her new personal profile photo.
Before the Manickam family met with Bodhinatha, their daughter Saroja logged in to our new private Saiva Siddhanta Church website to take a tour and learn how to upload images. Dasan, Shakti and Chudika Mahadevan joined in.
Tour Day Filled with Visitors
Beautiful clear skies on a warm spring day brought more eager souls to investigate the wonderments of Kauai Aadheenam.
Very special guests today: T.S.Seshadai and his large extended family from Maryland. A long history with the Aadheenam through both Gurudeva and Bodhinatha he is the former President at the Murugan Temple of North America. His family was a delight to have on the tour.

Michael Wasylkiw (bottom right), Michael Kempinski (middle) and Steven Cohen are all from the East Coast. They pooled their funds to sponser a stone for Iraivan! So impressed with his meeting with Bodinatha several months ago, Michael Wasylkiw, came back to purchase the Trilogy and sign up for a formal study of the Master Course. He works on Wall Street.

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.
