April 4, 2007What Happened Today at the Monastery?
Sadhu Paksha continues and we are back on TAKA after a three-day retreat. On Star 3, the monthly Chitra was held. Here is Bodhinatha, seated and receiving devotees. Kulapati Deva Seyon has been helping one of Iraivan strong supporters to purchase a house here in the Wailua Homesteads.
It has been a challenge because they live in Hong Kong! The deal finally went through and the family wanted the keys to be first presented to Bodhinatha and Gurudeva.
Yogi Japendranatha
and Sadhaka Dandapani are the pujaris today.
Below is a video of the pada puja.

If you wanted to order a small but not too small bell you might go on the web and click to order a 9" bell, thinking that's not too tall.
Well Palaniswami did just that and he was delivered this gigantic, incredible artifact, where the *diameter* of the bell is nine inches. With an incredibly intricate top and change and the whole things weighs in about 50 pounds!
It is schedule to go to Kadavul one day.
