A moonbow lights the sky above Iraivan Temple during our recent full moon- We’ve been getting lots of rain these last few days. Here, the setting sun shines through the millions of droplets
- A good time for this swan neck agave to conclude its life with its one and only flower bloom
- The rain also spurs forth the mushroom. These ones are blooming with a massive cluster
- It gets to full size and only lasts a few days
- Passion Fruit flowers are some of our favorite. Amazingly complex structures and an indescribable aroma
- A scary sight for some! This mother centipede is about 7-8 inches and is coiled around her recently hatched keiki
- This species of mushroom can be found all over. Easy to spot in the dark of night.
- Our fresh mulch always has a few larger ones
- Nimu doesn’t like the thunderous rain very much. He has to sing much louder whenever it pours
- Some of our local ringneck parakeets enjoy the fruiting palms
- “Everything should be an offering to God. The world is an altar.” – Yogaswami
Aum Namah Shivaya
Today marks the 4th day of our Monastics’ short lunar phase. Meaning the next two days will be our retreat days (like a weekend). As a gentle end to our week of seva, we offer you these photos from around the Aadheenam—appreciating the natural world we enjoy here. From the moon in the night sky above Iraivan Temple, to the plants and mushrooms erupting from the earth beneath us. It’s all a sacred sight to behold. Aum.
