Wishing Vel a Nice Journey Home

Tomorrow, Brahmachari Vel leaves Kauai to return home to Mauritius. He's been here for about three months and we are very thankful for all the seva he has done during his stay. His humble service to the monastery and to his guru has been a great example.

"What is Saivism? We are devotees of Lord Siva and we are doing Sivathondu - that is Saivism." Siva Yogaswami
