June 22 Homa
"Whatever exists and wherever it exists is permeated by the same divine power and force."
Śukla Yajur Veda, Īśa Upanishad 1. EH, 45
Following a 3-day, full moon retreat the aadheenam's mathavasis begin their new phase today. This will be a standard five day phase with a few unique happenings including a webinar with Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami for our members, a Yoga Sutra class with Satguru for our young Sadhaka, and travel preparations for Satguru's next trip which will depart at the end of this phase. This retreat, the monastics will observe Iraivan Day, a time when the whole monastery joins forces to help with newsletter mailing, our monthly news update and with fundraising efforts for Iraivan Temple.
Satguru and the monks were joined at this morning's homa by local devotees and visiting pilgrims. Following the final arati, everyone sat down to listen to Satguru's upadesha about how we can help to create world peace by creating peace within ourselves and our homes. The audio for the talk will be online in the coming days. Aum Namah Sivaya.

I visited your wonderful monastery for the 5th time this past June 22nd.
You have made fantastic progress over the years.
I purchased a beaded bracelet with the silver”aum “attached.
The braclet was with clear beads and purple beads and there
were numerous other bracelets of various colors that are not on
your site. The cost was $25.00. Are these only available at the
monastery site?
Please let me know, thank you
