Bodhinatha and Senthilnathaswami are safe and sound in California after a successful journey over the Pacific on their way for an 18-day mission on the mainland.

Meanwhile a recent visitor sends us this really excellent photo of the Arumugam murthi that lives under our magical banyan tree by the Tiruneri path on the way to Kadavul temple.

“I wanted to thank you for your warm hospitality during a recent visit that my wife and I made to your monastery. We were there on either December 18th or 19th and a gentleman by the name of ‘Vel’ showed us around. I am attaching a photo that I took during my visit. Thank you. C. P.”
