To Sri Lanka!
Bodhinatha and Shanmuganathaswami are currently in Sri Lanka on a nine day tour of Colombo, Batticaloa and Jaffna. The first event on January 25, 2015 was an evening, private-invitation-only dinner at Saraswathi Hall, organized jointly by All Ceylon Hindu Congress and Manitha Neyam Trust. An estimated 300 were in attendance. Bodhinatha was introduced by Mr. K. Neelakantha, president of the All Ceylon Hindu Congress. He was also introduced by the Minister for Resettlement, Rehabilitation and Hindu cultural Affairs Hon. D. M. Swaminathan. Bodhinatha gave a talk about the Sri Lankan Tamils diaspora and how he had been visiting many of their relatives in Canada, Australia and the USA. Many of the children from the Manitha Neyam Trust children's homes were present. Those with birthdays during this month were given a small cake and a gift, and everyone sung happy birthday. Bodhinatha gave vibuthi to everyone. This is Bodhinatha's first visit to Sri Lanka in 32 years, and much has changed in the country since 1983.

This visit to Sri Lanka by Bodhinatha and Shanmuganathaswami is highly auspicious. First, it coincides with President Obama’s attending India’s Republic Day parade on Monday, becoming the first US President to have been invited. Secondly, Sri Lanka has just inaugurated a new president, and hopes are running high that a national healing can now occur. The presence of the Kauai monastery’s emissaries can only help and their influence may do so significantly..

May the visit of Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami & Shanmuganathaswami instil the teachings of the Sanathana Dharma for a harmonious living together of the people of Sri Lanka.
The questions “Who Am I? Where did I come from? What is the
ultimate goal of EARTHLY LIFE?”MUST be Known by All!!!
Congratulations to the new government & it’s fair policies envisaged.
