 This morning the monks listened to a talk by Gurudeva he gave on May 9th, 2001 about teaching, wherein he said that we needed to stress the building of character through adherence of the Yamas... the Restraints.
Our Beloved and Revered Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami

Cybertalk: The essence of our being is God. This is a beautiful teaching but it is also important to be grounded in other realities. We are a soul, but our soul is inside a physical body which we need to work with. The yamas are related to the instinctive area of the mind, the part of us which is like animals. The yamas focus on tendencies such as lying and stealing, that need to be restrained or controlled.

This is Mrs. Kaufmann. She and her daughter are quite psychic and they have both had visions of Gurudeva on the inner planes recently. They were so powerful that Mrs. Kaufmann flew to Kauai to share her experiences with Bodhinatha.
If you walk westward along the path from the Aadheenam toward San Marga and then down to the "Orchid Mandapam" from there you can look back and get a sense of the Aadheenam's location, perched on the edge of the Wailua River valley. We are looking directly eastward in this shot.

Title: Is The Divorce of a marriage like the bankruptcy of a business? Part 1
Category: Family
Duration: Given By: Gurudeva
Another question on an entirely different subject. "Are there similarities between bankruptcy, going out of business or a divorce?"
In Hinduism, there is no divorce. The first marriage is the marriage. Even if the partners split up, live separately, get divorced, they are still psychically tied together. Divorce has become quite normal among Hindu people. But, the making of new karma is not new to Hindu people. Divorce is a wonderful way to make a lot of really bad karma to be faced at another time.
Marriage is a business. It has all the increments of a business - money, budgets, food, clothing, purchasing, acquiring, disseminating, entertaining. It is a very small business and it should be looked at like that. Working in an office, in a hospital, in a factory, owning a hospital, owning a business, owning a factory - has all the increments of a marriage. One has to be pleasant, handle money, purchase, sell, acquire, entertain.
A strong home with all the increments of a business working properly, will keep a business in the world working properly, year after year after year. If a home is handled unprofessionally with arguments and misunderstandings, it will create a failure within the business, automatically. Because inside, the owners of the business are failing to maintain dharma, to maintain proper protocol within their home. The vibration of the home should be and must be a higher vibration than the business, that they might own or work in.
