Gurudeva at the Iraivan Temple where he had asked that the ladies wave the arati flame while singing the traditional "Jaya Jagadisha Hare" song that is often used in North Indian temples especially.

Title: Not Getting Angry |
Cybertalk: After a short review of his recent talk on the Hindu philosophical outlook on the nature of man, Bodhinatha begins with a "Dear Bodhinatha" e-mail written in by a devotee who was having problems with an abusive in-law. Her challenge was about how to not get angry when others are abusing others, a unique expansion of the attitude of not getting angry when others abuse her.

At the temple site the silpis have finished course 14 and they are here breaking out the stones for the 15th course from their palettes ready to be lifted up to the work area. Our guests get to see the silpis in action.
The 15th course has smaller stones and will be a bit easier than the last two course which were challenging.
Over the stone goes, ready for the forklift.
Meanwhile in Bangalore the carving continues.. Here are some shots of the symbols that appear on the pillars. This is snake/naga.
