Mrs. Leimomi Mo'okini Lum is priestess of the Hawaiian religion. Her family of kahunas (Hawaiian priests) had traditionally been in charge of the KU temples of the island of Kauai. The Kadavul Siva temple is built on the same land that was once a Hawaiian Ku temple. She is actively working to preserve the traditional Hawaiian spiritual culture. Gurudeva has been very support of her work in the community and she in turn is very happy to know that Hindu monks have become the guardians of the sacred land of her ancestors.
