Today's Pilgrims and Visitors

The Aadheenam has been having a continuing and it seems even growing stream of visitors, even though there are no tour days. People keep coming...Brahmacharini Shama, Brahmacharini Lila and Ishani Alahan have been a huge help in taking care of all the guests.

Shama shares info on today's guests:

Denis Chagnon (center - in light green jacket) arrived with nineteen students from Ottawa and Ontario, Canada. Denis gives classes on energy fields, healing, and basic meditation techniques. They were all quite moved by the "energy" here at the Aadheenam with one visitor remarking that it was the most powerful place they had ever visited.

Denis and his students attended the morning puja and, following the puja, they were blessed to be given a talk on Hinduism by Paramacharya Ceyonswami. Following the talk they were given a tour of the Iraivan Temple complex.

Silpi Kumar and Rishi Thondunatha, who is here visiting on pilgrimage, pose for a "stone-carving" photo.
