Once a month the Wailua Mission gathers to make rudraksha jewelry for Iravain Temple fundraising. So far the Mission's work has been extremely successful in raising funds. This month they gathered at the Sivanathan's house. With many devotees pilgrimaging to Kauai for the Maha Ardra puja on December 25th, the Wailua Mission was blessed to have these wonderful sivathondars attend their fund raising project.

During the Maha Ardra festivities, devotees found themselves having an informal chat with the Ganapati Kulam monks. We decided to round everyone up in the same place at the same time, talk story and eat chocolate!
