Apologies for the broken link yesterday. Please try again to listen to Bodhinatha’s latest upadesha. It is working now.

Thanks to Hindu Heritage Endowment and Other Donors

Dear Bodhinatha,

In order to improve the living conditions of our children at the Yogaswami Girls Home in Batticaloa, we constructed a new dormitory building as the second storey above the kitchen, which was newly built last year.

The reason for building the dormitory upstairs was that the village Sitthandy — where the Girls home is located — is prone to floods. Last year, the home was impacted a great deal by the December flooding in the eastern province of Sri Lanka. We are hoping to complete the building before the rainy season starts.

Herewith, I am enclosing some photos of the new building under construction showing the second storey dormitory.

As you can see the beds are too crowded, and they do need a new building. But at least for now everyone will be dry when the rains come.

Our sincere thanks go out to the Hindu Heritage Endowment and other kind-hearted souls who have made this project possible. It is because of this generosity that the girls are getting a new dormitory.

In Peace,

Rishi Thondunathan

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Gurudeva’s Mahasamadhi. It was on Deepavali Day 2001 when Gurudeva breathed his last in our mortal world. To commemorate the legacy of a great saint such as Gurudeva, I would like to invite you to attend a puja on the 22nd of October at 5.00pm at the following address:

I would like to cordially invite you and your family to attend this puja in Gurudeva’s honor. I am looking forward to sharing this auspicious day with you and your family.

Aum Shanthi,

Rishi Thondunathan
