The Northern European Innersearch 2001 is over today, as Innersearchers disembarked the ship in Copenhagen, Denmark. Some are flying home as we write these captions. Others went on today to join Gurudeva for celebrations at a Ganesha temple in Herning and Abhirami Amman temple in Brande, Denmark. At the Abhirami temple, the head priestess goes into trance and leads the congregation also in the ritual worship. Many years ago Gurudeva visited the temple and the lady asked Gurudeva if what she was doing was OK. Gurudeva gave his blessings and has been supporting her and the temple from within, from Hawaii. So, having Gurudeva come in person to the community is cause for a giant celebration there. We should have some pictures in a few days.

Title: Organ and blood donation |
Cybertalk: A cyberspace devotee from Malaysia and Connecticut, USA asks
about the effects of organ and blood donations. Gurudeva explains how such
donations can psychically bond the donor to the donee over a long or short
term and potentially keep the donor earthbound at death.

Title: Karma, Wisdom and Soul Power

Duration: 3 min., 27 seconds

Today at Kauai Aadheenam, May 26th. This is Gurudeva and we are very happy to have a question from England. There is someone in England who is in love with a girl but she doesn't know about it.
Well, that is a one-sided love. You should find someone to introduce the two of you, get aquainted and express your feelings. If she rejects you, then be very, very happy because she might have been the worst thing that could ever happen to you in this life. If she accepts you, don't go too fast. Get a marriage compatibility from an excellent astrologer and if you are compatible, meet her parents and have her parents meet yours. True marriage is a marriage between the girl's parents and the boy's parents, and the boy and the girl. Two families joining together as one. If that does not happen, we have a nuclear family and a nuclear family is just waiting to explode.
We hope this helps. If not, send another question.
We have been talking about the law of karma. We can work out karmas in this life that we made in past lives or early on in this life or we can create new karmas while we are working out karma by fighting the karmas we are working out. If we fight our way through life, as I mentioned yesterday, we live an unhappy life. Put the law of wisdom and everybody has wisdom, because wisdom is the timely application of knowledge. Wisdom is the timely application of knowledge. Wisdom is the timely application of knowledge. Say that to yourself out loud three times, as soon as this little sermonette is over. Wisdom is the application of knowledge, everybody has it. But sometimes we are in too much of a hurry to use it. Therefore, we are making new karma, storing it in the past, throwing it ahead into the future, then running right into it and wondering, "Why did we run right into that door without opening it? Why is this happening to me?"
By accepting the universal law of karma, every action has a reaction, you accept a principle within life that is never-failing. You can figure out your experience and therefore create a wonderful future for yourself by doing good things in the present. Right thought creates right speech creates right action creates a happy tomorrow!
And now in French, sweet Tamil language and beautiful Malay language.

James, Judy and Rachel Bennett. They are psychotherapists from Massachussetts who visited two years ago on the day when the concrete for the temple foundation was being poured. They're happy to see the stonework progress.
Louise Elmes, Peter Porazik, Jr, Elena & Peter Porazik and Nayan M Patel.
Louise is from England-now living on Maui, the Poraziks are residing north
of Los Angeles, Nayan lives in Laramie, Wyoming.
Nayan has recently been awarded a grant by the state of Wyoming for a greenhouse to grow Ayurvedic and other herbs using a new method. An herbal essence distiller in Washington state, well known for the purity of its products, will purchase and market the herbs. Nayan's company is called Green Point International. Nayan's wife visited the Aadheenam a couple of years ago and now he's here to check on the temple's progress. He's a devotee of Pramukhswami Maharaj and the Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry.

 The Remarkable Vision |
Iraivan Temple Progress Update |
Join this historic undertaking. Please contribute generously. Sponsor a stone today! |
Mark this day on your history calendar:
Course Number Three of the Iraivan temple was completed today! This is the layer of stones with all the "bhutas" holding up the temple."
Now the silpis are moving stones for Course Number Four up on to beams. Shanmuga Sthapati watches every move his men make, guiding it along very carefully.
"Work smarter, not harder" is our silpis way... I guess after working with heavy stones for many centuries, you find the most efficient methods.
It may take as long as an hour, to move one stone up to the working platform.
Steady! Inch by inch
And finally, at the top.
Our guests watch with amazement. One does not see this kind of hand work very often in today's modern world.
