Island Temple Magazine

In late 2003 the monastics at Kauai Aadheenam produced the latest version of the "Island Temple" magazine. This exquisitely designed and beautifully printed progress report brings you a wealth of information, uplifting stories and imagery. It also provides those interested in pilgrimage important information they should view before making the trip to Kauai.

We have put the magazine into PDF files for you to download and view at home. You may also order physical copies of the magazine to distribute by sending an email requesting extra copies of the Island Temple to help with fund raising in your area.
