7th Annual Saivite Summer Camp in Chicago
The 7th Annual Saivite Summer Camp was held in Chicago on June 22 - 24th. Twenty five participants of all ages attended this three day camp which was conducted by Rishi Thondunathan. Events included puja, hatha yoga, group meditation, classes, games and field trips.
For the field trip, the group visited the Hindu Temple of Lemont, Chicago. Children paid their respects to Swami Vivekananda's statue near the temple. For recreation the children went for a hike and a hay ride.
Three of the participants who had attended the camp for the past six years are now in college. They came down for this year's camp and served as camp counselors. It was so wonderful to see the next generation of American Saivite Tamils coming up.

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.
