Iraivan's Yesti Stones Finalized Drawings
Last month we had showed some photos of the Nandi Mandapam Yesti Stone Drawing. After approval of Bodhinatha Veylanswami, Selvanathan stapathi is redoing a new drawing for the final stone carving.
Shekar Stapathi does another part of the drawing.
Manikantan Stapathi, our resident Stapathi helps.
This yesti stone is the stone which flanks the sides of the steps and is used as a barricade and also as a support to hold and climb the steps.

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.
