Gurudeva Darshan of the Day


"Being on the brink of Self Realization, having lost consciousness of the physical body and of being a mind, you are only conscious of a vast, bluish white light. You get into this through going into the clear white light and out through the other side of it."

Gurudeva

Iraivan Temple Construction Progress

Another crane lift today at Iraivan, more sunshade stones were hoisted up to the roof.

The weather was perfectly clear until the crane left the property and then it rained the rest of the day!

Lord Panchamukha Ganapati Lands in Anna Poorna Gardens

There was one more lift for the crane before it departed and the skies opened up.

It was a great day for the Siddhidata Kulam and the monastery food garden. Seventeen years ago, Gurudeva suggested we put a big Ganesha in the vegetable garden. As things with Ganesha often await the right timing, the carving of a Panchaganapati was gradually completed and then He sat quietly in India for several more years, and then was shipped last year and finally placed today.

Our team is overjoyed...Sadhaka Adinatha on the job.

It is a particularly magnificent and beautifully carved piece from Artha Enterprise.

Jai Panchamukha Ganapati!
