Public Tour Day for June 22, 2012
"When are we going to see a monk?" is a common question on Public Tour Day. During phase days, when we hold the tour, the monks are all at their work stations in the various offices, behind the tour area, in the gardens or in cloistered only areas but not in plain sight. When Bodhinatha is present and not traveling we invite them to the Mini Mela after the tour to meet Him for a book signing, which is met with great anticipation. When Bodhinatha is traveling - there are no guarantees unless they happen to see Sivanathaswami walk out of the sanctum on duty in Kadavul or they happen to spot a monk walking by out on the grounds. On occasion when He is not too committed to the Hinduism Today schedule or demands Sadasivanathaswami will come and sign books. These direct encounters are very special times for our guests after hearing so much about their dedicated lives.

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.
