Jai Ganesha! Wonderful fire ceremony this morning before dawn, beseeching Lord hanuman to carry Iraivan Temple from India to Kauai.
Gurudeva's talk after the homa focused on family, living in harmony, working in concert and unity. Jivananda took a photo of the church families after the homa, all smiling there in front of the 108 Tandava murthis in Kadavul temple.

"Don't be content to just have faith in your own future. Children do that. As adults, you need to develop a plan, a personal and family vision, and then work hard at that plan. Then the future will work out well.
As the families mature in working together in active unity, all the karmas will come up to be worked out. It is no accident that you each chose this family to be in this birth. Work on your vision together, and don't be discouraged if your vision does not manifest immediately. Keep working on it. Even if it takes years, don't worry. Just keep being persistent.

[That's the amazing Banyan Tree just outside Kadavul temple entry.]
The future comes from up down, from your superconsciousness. But to have that happen in the highest way, you have to keep your subconscious mind fluid, not allowing it to collect a lot of dross. Do that by performing vasana daha tantra, at least twice a month. Keep the subconscious mind clear so the superconscious can work through the subconscious."
