"The Hindu religion brings to us the gift of tolerance that allows for different stages of worship, different and personal expressions of devotion and even different Gods to guide our life on this Earth."

By His Grace may we all experience daily what the Rishis describe in the Vedas and which was further elucidated by our beloved Gurudeva:

"Now, the light which shines above this heaven, above all the worlds, above everything, in the highest worlds not excelled by any other worlds, that is the same light which is within man. There is this visible of this light: when we thus perceive by touch the warmth in the body.

"And of it we have this audible proof: when we thus hear, by covering the ears, what is like the rumbling of a carriage, or the bellowing of an ox, or the sound of a blazing fire. One should worship as Brahman that inner light which is seen and heard. He who knows becomes conspicuous and celebrated, yea, he becomes celebrated."

Gurudeva Mahasamadhi Toronto

We observed Satguru Sivaya Subramuniya Swami's 7th Maha Samadhi Guru Pooja on October 26, 2008 at Sangamam Hall in Toronto. Large number of swami's devotees attended the bhajan and pooja on this Sunday morning from 10:00 -13:00 hrs. I attach herewith few pictures taken at this memorable event. Aum Namashivaya. Rajamohan
