October 20, 2006What Happened Today at the Monastery?
Sri Atmananda is here from Tiruvannamalai, India, visiting with devotees. He meets with Bodhinatha for a brief darshan.
A spiritual teacher, his core message is based on the Bhagavad Gita, interpreted to reflect the process of inner spiritual evolution. His home base is in India, but he has a center in the US, in Silver City, Nevada and one in California. For more information on his teachings, visit this web site: http://www.satyachetana.org/home.htm
Sri Atmanandaji has been a long time reader and advertiser in Hinduism Today magazine and has looked forward to visiting here for many years.
Later we take a tour of San Marga and the Iraivan temple site.

Each day Bodhinatha has a class first in the morning at 8:30 for those who have received Vishesha Diksha initiation. Then another seminar later in the morning for everyone.
Today he continued with his discourses on "Merging with Siva...." the Nine Ways to do that based on Gurudeva's teachings.
We have received many positive comments on our video offerings here on TAKA. Today we decided to "get brave" and put up a 69 megabyte video.
We did have the issue of the download being automatically started. So, we are now using a "poster" frame for the video. And it will not start downloading until you press play. Those who may not have sufficient band width can skip the video.
