After the satsang with the members and students in San Jose, Sadasivanathaswami and Senthilnathaswami went with a few to Lake Chabot in the East Bay Regional Parks District for a hike. It was a beautiful day, sunny, cool, and the tell-tale delicious fragrances of Northern California forest delighted the olfactory senses as we all enjoyed a fun, relaxing, informal time together.
