An Afternoon with the Pillayar Kulam

Work at the Pillayar Kulam has been continuing as normal, while the leader of the Kulam (Shanmuganathaswami) has been traveling in Sri Lanka. Responsible for the Monastery's and Church's financial considerations, as well as magazine subscriptions, advertising, shipping, running the mini mela, cow care and so much more, the Pillayar Kulam plays a crucial role. This is the last day of the phase (our weekdays) before a three day retreat. At the PK office, monks are hard at work doing accounting, newsletter preparations and of course, using laser machines!
