A New Phase Begins

Gently light the lamp,
Gather flowers fragrant,
Humbly ground the holy paste,
Softly sweep,
Sing Lord's Praise,
Count the crystal beads,
Anoint in many ways,
And perform the diverse acts of temple service

Tirumantiram

The monks begin their new phase today after having had a 3 day retreat, a time for a break in routine to do other projects, do more sadhana, and in general relax a little from their countless duties. Satguru Bodhinatha is traveling, so Paramacharya Sadasivanathaswami filled in. The topic of his morning talk, just so happened to be the importance of living a balanced life, which includes not working yourself too hard. He emphasized that while life should be lived dynamically and powerfully, it should be accompanied by a proportionate amount of relaxation, hobby projects, time with family and other fulfilling endeavors.

This is a five-day phase. Tomorrow the monks observe ashram sadhana day, a time to uplift the vibration of the monastery through creating a clean and actinic environment. The monks spend the day deep-cleaning the temple, their offices, their guhas and anywhere else that needs attention. Following this phase is a two day retreat which includes Iraivan day, the time each month when the monks team together to mail out the monthly news letter, create the monthly news video, and do a variety of other Iraivan-related projects.

New Roofing

Over the last few days, our neighbor Bobby and his team of Garden Island Roofing, have been working to replace the old roof above Bodhinatha's office and the Siddhidata Kulam's office. The old tile has been in need of replacement for some time. This new roof matches the Media Studio's which Bobby also installed. It also has a delightful copper trim which follows its edge.

Bobby and his team are very professional, laying down new roofing as fast as the old roofing is taken up, ensuring the roof is not left uncovered in Kauai's unpredictable and rainy weather.

Archives are now available through 2001. Light colored days have no posts. 1998-2001 coming later.
