As a Satguru, Gurudeva receives lots of e-mails daily, mainly concerning household problems. Two questions were asked to the children who send those mails: Do your parent say "I love you" and "Thank You" or "I appreciate all the wonderful things that you are doing"? Approximately 90 percent said that their parents never say such things. That shows that this is not practised at home. Gurudeva is urging that all families show their appreciation and love to their children constantly. The easiest way is to say "I love you" and "Thank You."

The second thing that Gurudeva emphasised is to take stress and leave it at the feet of the deity for release. The home shrine should be a place free from negative vibrations and pure so the Gods will come and receive your prayers when puja is done. This will make the shrine a very uplifting place and whenever mental turmoil occurs you could regain calmness and peaceg in your own home shrine.

When both of the above are practised well, the entire home will have positive vibrations and will become very magnetic. Home will become the place you look forward to return to each day. 'Home sweet home'.

When this happens, wars in the home ends, wars in the community end leading to the end of all the greater and wider wars. First make good, peaceful homes, manage your homes professionally. This will naturally radiate out to the community and to the country, and all worlds will rejoice in peacefulness.

To start with, say these nine words, "I Appreciate you, I Thank You, and I love you."

To start with they are very excited to be here. Yo can just see how joyful they are in the photograph. From left, Shanta Devi (the mother), Siva Kumaran (son), Kavitha Darshini (daughter) and Srimathi Thanapackiam (Shanta's mother). One uplifting testimony after another just flowed from them as we asked them about their thoughts about being here. Dream come true, lifetime longing, amazing, lucky and honored. They have been long time devotees of Gurudeva and this is their first time being on Kauai. Amma Thanapackiam had a surgery three months ago and was all inspired as she recuperates to meet Gurudeva and have his blessings for herself and her whole extended family.

Amma told us, "I am very happy to meet everyone here at Kauai Aadheenam and we are all honored to be here. We all look forward to having Gurudeva's blessings. The next time we come to Kauai, more of our family will be with us for Gurudeva's darshan."

Kavita told us, "This feels like being at home. \"

Sivakumaran called it "paradise, so beautiful and uplifting."

Shanta Deva assured us, "We will be back."

OK, they did work after the photo was taken, we have to admit, and quite hard too. Tons of debris, rocks and trees had to be moved from the site.

We will depart from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on March 25th and return to Fort Lauderdale on April 4th and be traveling on Holland America's spectacular, brand new cruise ship, the MS/Volendam.
