Kulapati Easan Katir Share Himalayan Academy Treasures
The Annapoorna Hindu Sangam sponsored a gala all-day event at the Sacramento Lakshmi Narayan Temple. The trustees invited Kulapati Easan Katir to speak about ‘Growing Up Hindu’. He presented the new eponymous Himalayan Academy book to a group of 400+ enthusiastic souls who are in the midst of raising their children.
At our Himalayan Academy table many were intrigued with the new children’s books, with DevaTrek cards, and the perennial favorite compendium from Hinduism Today, What is Hinduism.

A Beautiful Morning at Kauai Aadheenam
Photos from Bodhinatha's three satsangs in Garden Grove, California
Our Wednesday evening satsang was attended by Ravi, Sheela, Arati & Mayuresh Visswanathan, Shailesh Trivedi, his mother, Radha & sister, Shivali. Another family attending was Mayuran, Amala, Lalitha, Balakumar & Chandipati Muttulingam. Each evening Bodhinatha would present the 2011-2012 annual video report of the monastery activities, a keynote movie with a topic such as Unfoldment, questions and answers session and some casual chitchat.
Bodhinatha, Shanmuganathaswami & Siddhanathaswami attend satsang in Chicago
About 40 people attended Bodhinatha's satsang at the home of Jigisha Patel in Niles, Illinois. In this photo everyone is watching the 2011-2012 annual video update of the monasteries activities. On the screen is the section on the monastery kitchen renovation. Our portable screen works very well for these small groups.
Here is four-year-old Aran, son of Gaurav and Ripla Malhotra. Last year's visit to Chicago he was pulling Bodhinatha's carry-on luggage. Now he has graduated to pushing all the swami's luggage.
