The next morning, Bodhinatha met a few devotees at the Airport Holiday Inn in Calgary where he was staying.
The Amrithalingam family. Thushyanthan is close to finishing his studies to become an Arul Sishya and describes to Bodhinatha how much help his studies and sadhana have been in the daily life of he and his wife.
The alcove where Bodhinatha met devotees had a beautiful panoramic view of Edmonton and the surrounding environs. Next, on to Vancouver!

Going back in time, having finished the Kumbabhishekam activities in Edmonton, Bodhinatha visited the Shiv Shakti Mandir in Edmonton which was established largely by Hindus from Fiji who now live in the Edmonton area. They have a large hall with very beautiful and well maintained Dieties.
His next stop was at a cultural hall which is the temporary home for the Sri Murugan Society of Alberta in the city of Calgary. The group there hosts monthly satsang and is diligently working to find a permanent site for a temple.
