All is well. Steadily the daily work proceeds at Iraivan, preparations of Innersearch, preparing for our holiday honey bear gift trip all around the island, editing publications and more.

Join Bodhinatha in Malaysia!

Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami will be traveling through Malaysia on his pilgrimage to India in 2004. Please join him and his devotees for a gala event in KL.

Monday, Jan 19th, 2004
Kalamandapam, Sri Kandaswamy Temple
Scott Road, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.
7:30pm to 9pm

Bodhinatha will be giving vibhuthi blessings after the event. Those who attend will also receive a free copy of the new Island Temple magazine.

Bodhinatha offers abhishekam to Gurudeva's tiruvadi.
Yogaswami sang:

"Worship thou the fragrant lotus Feet
Of the Lord who has no origin or end,
Who from His devotees can never part.
All thy sinister deeds will pass away--Sivayave."

Bodhinatha's Sun One Video. Most Recent update: September 12, 2003. Bodhinatha speaks on Ahimsa, noninjury, yama #1, which is noninjury in thought, word and deed. The law of karma decrees that it is wise not to harm or hurt others, for we will then receive harm and hurt in exchange in the future. 12 minutes, 29 seconds.

It is not often that Gurudeva's swamis are in California, but this will happen briefly on January 15. Paramacharya Palaniswami is flying there with Sadhaka Dandapani to lead the main Innersearch Indian Odyssey group on the flight to Malaysia.

All TAKA cyber-cadets and family and friends are warmly invited to take part in a special function to welcome Paramacharya Palaniswami, one of Gurudeva's most senior monks and editor-in-chief of Hinduism Today magazine, on the occasion of his visit to the San Francisco area.

Palaniswami will present the fascinating story of the fully hand-carved, granite San Marga Iraivan Temple on Hawaii's island paradise - an icon of Hinduism's beauty and strength. It is also an
opportunity for all students and cyber-cadets who visit our daily "Today at
Kauai's Hindu Monastery" chronicle website to share your questions, thoughts
and inspirations with us. Your presence is indispensable, and we look
forward to seeing you there. If you are nearby, put this on your calendar. Aum Namasivaya!
