Today is a quiet day of retreat at the Aadheenam. Since we are working on the inside of ourselves and don't have much outer news, we thought you might enjoy a photo of a lovely orchid. It's growing on a giant mango tree, at shoulder height, about twenty feet from the door to the Hinduism Today editorial offices. It just bloomed a few days back. It is a fragrant variety, and morning and night it fills the air with a most intoxicating smell!

Om Namasivaya!
