This morning the Aadheenam observed its monthly padapuja to Gurudeva, which takes place on the chitra nakshatra. Monks and devotees gathered in Kadavul Temple in the early morning and Natyam Rajanatha and Natyam Nandinatha performed the puja. Some of monks chanted Sri Rudram, while others dove within themselves and within the loving energy flowing forth from Gurudeva's shrine. As is the norm, once Sri Rudram ended the rest of the puja was done in silence, with nothing but the sound of the morning birds and the trickling waters of the abhishekam. Jai Gurudeva!

"If yoga is truly performed, we graduate with knowledge based on personal experience, not on what someone else has said. We then take our place among the jnanis--the wise ones who know, and who know what they know--to uplift others with understanding in sadhana and in yoga." Gurudeva
