From Gujarat with Love

Yesterday a big green box arrived from Gujarat in India. The monks opened it to discover many gems inside, carefully unpacking the various pieces, cataloging them.

They were gifts from an anonymous devotee who wanted to add more beauty and grace to Gurudeva's shrine in Kadavul Temple, so she had a friend in India tailor 11 sets of little shawls and sashes for Gurudeva's murti, and three different colors of velvet drapes for behind his murti. The three are the colors of the ritaus, so the drapes can reflect the season's color.

One swami was inspired to install the new drape and sashes then took some iPhone photos for all to enjoy.
