Public Tour Day

Pure joy is found at the very beginning and the end of the path!

Bodhinatha patiently answers many questions from our guests.

Home grown rudraksha beads is another big suprise to our Hindu visitors. Taking home a mala is the rare treasure.

Many American visitors feel the vibration of the Aadheenam and want to know more. "Merging with Siva" should fill in a few blanks!

The "mini trilogy" can be tucked away in a purse and read on the flight home.

The "library in stone" stimulates a lot of questions from our guests. Soon we will have a small pamphlet explaining the depth and power of each panel.

"This is by far the high point of our visit to Kauai" one guest from Austria told us as they were leaving.

"Shiva

s fire" (Not really the botanical name - but we can't resist.)'

With Summer in full bloom many of our Asian guests are more than surprised to find a Hindu monastery and Siva Temple tucked away at the top of Kuamoo Road. When asked how they found us - we hear a litany of familiar responses. "Our concierge told us about it." - "The waiter at the restaurant told us we had to come." Gurudeva's wisdom in integrating and serving the people of Kauai and not staying "aloof" or separate from the community has created a deep respect and appreciation for the monastery island wide. Many people fear what they don't understand or anyone who is different. Leave it to Gurudeva's mastery and unconditional love to create a home for generations of monks to come who will be embraced by the people of Kauai.
