Staghorn ferns
A few days bak our neighbor took down a giant tree in his compound, and on it were hundreds of mature Staghorn ferns. He gifted them to the monastery, and today Sadasivanathaswami (ahead in the trackhoe) and Adi Srikantha (behind the camera) moved them to a spot near Iraivan.
Strange Shapes
How quickly can you guess what kind of odd-looking plant life this is?
Aadheenam Sacred Gardens
The full and lush monastery gardens are alive with a great variety of plants, birds, fish and flowers. Today it was all lit with the soft rays from sprinkling rain clouds, which gave everything a glow. The birds are sing, but everything else seems quiet and still.
A Warm, Sunny Day at the Aadheenam
Today the sun is shining at the gentle trade winds are blowing. The roses are blooming, the water is flowing and nature's wonders continue to amaze us.
Model for the Path of Satgurus
This is the third model completed by Martin Mosko for the Iriavan temple gardens. The Path of the Satgurus. Stone statues of the lineage's Gurus will be displayed at the orange markers, each is where a satguru will reside.

The greatest challenge facing youth today is the lack of relating to the devotional side of Hinduism. Daily practice, daily vigil, moves us forward spiritually. Commentary on Merging with Siva, The Master Course, Lesson 21.
