Yogaswami Mahasamadhi Puja at Sangamam Hall
This is the third Yogaswami Mahasamadhi Puja that Bodhinatha attended during this Toronto visit. Sangamam Hall located in Tuxedo Court appartment buildings. Here we have many Jaffna origin Tamil elder. The attendance were about 200 people or so. And about 80% of them are elders. Most of them can't travel to other places due to health challenges. The puja here were organized by Sivathondars under the guidance and leadership of Raja Mohan. It was greatly appreciated by the elders. Many of them knew Yogaswami personally. Many had the great boon of serving for Swami and singing with him as a child. Once they knew there is Tamil speaking swami they wanted to share their experiences with Yogaswami. It was wonderful event all in all.
In Siva's Garden Today
Some regard it as the most beautiful vine in the world. Thunbergia mysorensis, a native of Mysore, South India.
Today it is blooming lavishly in our garden. We have 4 or 5 of the vines planted here and there. They grow to be massive, covering half an acre or more, with thousands of inflorensences, which grow down on ever-lengthening tendrils and are about 20 inches long, in bright purple and yellow.
In fact, there is a flower on the vine every day of the year.
The birds love to sit on the yellow lip and drink the nectar it holds.

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.
