Swami Asangananda Saraswati visits Kauai for the first time

Swamiji had a pleasant discussion with Bodhinatha. His tradition emphasizes Vedanta, and he learned that our tradition emphasizes both Vedanta (introspection, meditation) and Siddhanta (outer worship of God through puja)

He also enjoyed learning that we are a monastery property, rather than an ashram which has many visitors living in it.

so he was keen to learn more about our pattern of the monks living and serving as a group in the same place.

He wanted to clearly understand our daily monastery schedule, the 24-hour temple vigil, and we also shared Gurudeva

s most important visions that took place on the property.'

The next day he came and had lunch with Acharya Arumuganathaswami and Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami.

Arumuganathaswami shares with him some revelations about the history of India that are contained in our book "Hindu History of India."

Just before leaving Swami poses with his devotees. Come again Swamiji!
