Sun 1 Homa

Namaste everyone, were back from a 3 day retreat with a short slideshow of our weekly homa held in Kadavul temple. Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami gave a wonderful talk that will be posted this week.

Paramacharya Sivanathaswami meditates next to the other acharyas. If you get the chance, Swamiji is a true joy to talk to. He takes his time with each thought and speaks with wisdom. Swami also lovingly cares for two cats, Simha and Ganapoo.

Simha, as mentioned earlier

Ganapoo, as mentioned earlier. It should be noted, Simha and Ganapoo are considered overachievers in the monastery. They are constantly checking floor level temperatures, making sure no floor is too hot or too cold for the monastics. They are truly stewards of their respective posts. Well done you two.

The group listens attentively
