The holidays are bringing lots of Hindu families to Kauai Aadheenam

This is the family of Dr. Bhagawandas P. Lathi and his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grand-children. Dr. and Mrs. Lathi have been very strong supporters of Hinduism Today and Iraivan temple through the years! And we all want to thank them for their generous contributions.

Brahmachari Mayuran recently advancef from Aspirancy to Supplicancy. During this stage he sits by the Wall of Rain for many hours each day, inwardly begging the devas to help him adjust himself to the monastery, all the while supplicating the monastic order to be accepted as a full-fledged monastic. He will sit here daily for at least a month or more at the discretion of the Guru and then be interviewed by the group of senior monastics. If he is accepted he takes his Postulant Vows and becomes a Sadhaka, making him a full monastic of our community.
