It's Sun 3 today in the monastery, kind of our Wednesday, while it's Friday for the rest of the world (we think.)
This is Tejadeva with Gurudeva and that's a box of dried mangos he brought as a gift from Singapore. He arrived there from India and spent a few days with our members there, and came to Kauai yesterday afternoon. Tejadeva just completed an 8-month mission given him by Gurudeva, during which he lived in Bangalore, India, and took wonderful care of the young boys (ages 8 to 12) who are being trained there as future priests of Iraivan Temple. Tejadeva joined in the Sanskrit studies while there, too. Recently he took the boys on pilgrimage with bodhinathaswami and Saravananathaswami, traveling throughout Tamil Nadu to all the great Saiva temples, mostly by train. It was an arduous and joyous week for them all. You can see by his big smile, he is happy to be back to Kauai Aadheenam. And we are even happier to have him back!
Gurudeva's talk today is from Sun One when he said: "The most important thing in human relations is to keep the pranas flowing between people and people, and between people and groups...seek the true identity of yourself, which is that of a soul, and the Self is deep within that...How can one be a BIG PERSON on the inside? How can one be tolerant of other's faults rather than trying to correct them, to overlook the little things rather than tangling with them. There are enough small people in the world. We now need more people who are big on the inside of themselves.
New! Satguru Speaks Again!
"BIG PEOPLE, small people" Part 1 is today's talk from Gurudeva. He speaks on the qualities of the soul and the "little" realizations we have as we slowly come to terms with our perfection.
