Monks Training Session
The whole monastery gathered yesterday afternoon as Sannyasin Senthilnathaswami gave everyone a tour of our Google Apps web space.
Our goal was to educate everyone today in the use of Google Calendar and Google docs which will help everyone in the coordination of our Sivathondu in serving the mission.
It was very useful and also great fun as the monks do no often gather as a one group like this.
Devi and Skanda Visit Our Woodshop, Harvest Chocolate and Plant a Tree
Devi and Skanda were taken on a tour of the shop by Acharya Kumarnathaswami and given two Formosa Koa bowls he made from wood grown on our own land. Then they found some chocolate trees and fruits in the forest and finally planted a native species Hawaiian sandalwood tree together with their brother.

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.
