Bodhinatha and Shanmuganathswami left very early this morning for Singapore and Malaysia He will be holding a seminar for the public at the Kandasamy Temple in Malaysia on the 28th and then a retreat for sishya and students on the June 3rd.

The event at the temple will also feature the release of the two new children’s story books on Self-Discipline and Religious Life (Yamas and Niyamas).

The recent Golden Gate Mission Satsang was full of lovely songs.

Devika singing at satsang; Bhavani accompanying

K Padmanabhan and wife Visalakshi are Venkat and Jayashree’s (her parents) are visiting their daughter in San Ramon.They are from a town near Chennai. Will be here ’til August. Visalakshi sang a beautiful Muruga song. Both mother and daughter sang Muruga songs today which uplifted us all.

In the other pictures, Devika sang and Jothi Param did as well, Bhavani Param played veena. Lots of culture today.

I didn’t get a picture, but Deepa Param spent two days cooking the entire feast for satsang today, served on biodegradable plates made of sewn-together leaves. It was delicious, and a nice break for all the other ladies, who ordinarily bring pot luck.

Thank you Deepa!
