New Ganesha Temple coming up in Vancouver area
In Richmond, just outside of Vancouver, the Sri Ganesha Society of B. C. is creating a new Ganesha Temple. To avoid many of the zoning problems that they might ordinarily face, the purchased a church, tore it down to the foundation and built their temple on the old foundation. Under the zoning laws of that area, they need only follow the restrictions that were placed on the original church, which were much more lenient than they are now. A similar approach has been very effectively used for a number of temples in the US as well. Our appreciation to Manickam Senthivel for these excellent photos.

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.
