Happy Aloha Friday!

A delightful phase was had by all at the monastery and we now leave you with some gems of wisdom from Yogaswami to ponder for your weekend.

"Thou art not the body; nor art thou the mind. Neither art thou intelligence nor even consciousness. Thou art Atma. Atma is eternal, imperishable. Such is the realised experience of the seers. However, there is one thing you should bear in mind. Do not swerve from the path of Dharma. Reflect that all beings are in the hallowed presence of the supreme One. Kadavul is within and without."

In Honolulu two days back we found this on the door of an official in the state building. A little sign of our continuing service to the islands. Over the years the monks have printed thousands of these and other posters for the state of Hawaii.

\"Sing ye the hallowed name of Siva, Siva, I\

ve attained the goal of this life. And am in command of everything around. I roam at will in sweet leisure, with the whole world as my ken.\" '

\"You are Siva. I am Siva. All are Siva. Remaining summa is also Siva.

\"Even in small things, you must act with care and see everything in relation to everything else.\"

\"Grow yourself in the hearts of others. In the grass, in the creepers, in the goats, in the cattle - grow yourself.\"
