The study programs of Kauai's Hindu Monastery are conducted under the banner of Himalayan Academy. Founded by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (1927-2001, affectionately known as Gurudeva), and guided by his successor, Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, the Academy offers study of The Master Course trilogy of books and other programs. Academy activities have catalyzed life-changing spiritual experience for seekers in many nations since its founding in 1957.

The Master Course

The Master Course is Gurudeva's all-encompassing 3,000-page trilogy exploring all aspects of life from the perspective of Saivite Hinduism. These three make up a mystical study to be explored daily, 365 days a year. You can read and study the daily lessons in three ways: 1) Internet Study, on the web or via e-mail; 2) Home Study, reading the books daily at home; 3) Home Study plus self-evaluation worksheets.
