Recently Adi Srikantha arrived at the Aadheenam on taskforce. Adi is here for the 3 months to help with the massive landscaping project around Iraivan Temple. He is helping to move topsoil, plant plants and much more. On days when it's raining too hard to work outside Adi is lending a helping hand in the Mini Mela gift shop, and on retreats he's been helping harvest noni fruit from Himalayan Acres. Here he is joining the Ganapti Kulam for their morning meeting, which he will be doing each day he is here.

"First step - selfless action. Second step - tranquility. Third step - remaining in nishdai, or service to humanity, according to your will." - Siva Yogaswami

Every year the monks work on gift giving to approximately 350 businesses and friends of the monastery. This year we are continuing our macadamia nut gift. The Pillaiyar Kulam works to get all of them covered in a nice new label with a Kauai Aadheenam feel to it. Monks then go out in pairs and deliver the packages in person.
