Today, Ganesha provided us with a lovely sandalwood Aum. As you all may know, Hinduism Today Magazine has an Aum at the top-left of each issue's cover image. For this coming July 2015 issue, we've decided to use Ganesha's as that image. Thank you for the artwork Lord Ganesha!

Our retreat pilgrims gather for a class on the state of the Hindu history work that Acharya has been working on for several years. Acharya gave an informative one-hour talk, starting from the background of the projects history, to present day meetings for change. Swami ended on an uplifting note saying that history book material is ripe for change and educators are coming around. Swami will be traveling in the beginning of May to the Bay area, Los Angeles and Sacremento to spread awareness about the ongoing struggle of outdated schoolbook material and present the new material that the monks created.
