Recently the monastery's new CAT 301.7D mini excavator arrived. Thanks to an anonymous someone's wonderful generosity, we now have a reliable tool for landscaping in places that larger machines can't go. While we previously had another mini excavator, it was old and prone to disrepair. This new one is roughly the same size but with much more horsepower. It has been given the nickname of "Rajendra Chola," as this south indian king was known for his building of temple gardens. This little excavator will have that as its primary purpose, especially now while we are making ample progress on the landscaping around Iraivan Temple.

   Jai Ganesha! May the gardens glow and grow with new tools to care for every project possibly imagined.
   Enjoy!

   Now we’re talking, I know all the monks are digging it, maybe you need a karma yogi to operate it, haha! Wonderful addition
