Sivarathna Manick, who has been at the Aadheenam on our Taskforce program since October, will be leaving in a few days to return home. Today we followed him around the Aadheenam's sacred gardens with a camera, capturing his experiences at the many special spots in our sacred gardens and elsewhere. While here Sivarathna has worked in all of the monastic kulams gaining skills, disciplines and insight, which he will carry with him back into the world.

"You will know Him, if you keep quiet. All your suffering and your disease are for good. You must sweat and fall ill. Don't try to fly because others do. Work and be friendly. Observe and you will understand. Love is God. Truth is God. You cannot see God with your eyes; you must experience God. God is all things; God is everywhere." Siva Yogaswami

In the Hinduism Today April/May/June issue, just now being sent around the globe, we present a profound translation from the Yajurveda. The piece titled "Facing Forward in All Directions" is a beautiful description of Siva's all pervasive self, providing insight into His infinite Being. The above slideshow contains excerpts from the article.
