A Walk Around the Aadheenam

Today we take a short tour around the monastery to see what we'll find.

We find Satguru, hard at work in his office, answering some of the many, many emails he receives each day.

At the Media Studio, Ramesh enjoys a rainbow

One of the many cacti in our garden

Gurudeva\

s tiruvadi in Kadavul Temple'

Lord Muruga stands tall and bright

His Vel shines its inner light

The Crystal Lingam in Kadavul

Perhaps not long until it moves out to Iraivan to await installation

Ardhanarishvara stands, elegantly dressed, in the corner of Kadavul, often not noticed or seen.

Here Siva dances in the very walls

The mighty Trisula guards the temple entrance

Outside we find many fantastical things, including these air plants, planted in spheres on strings

The lowering sun shines bright into the courtyard

The lesser common yellow bird of paradise is aptly named

On a boulder out by Iraivan Temple we find a forest in miniature

Nandi keeps his eye on his beloved Siva\

s form'

The Shadkonam garden is gradually being planted with its many cacti

We find Satguru in his office, answering messages from people all over the world

In the kitchen, Dayanatha is testing out a new coconut grinder attachment, which is a little safer than our older one

At his desk, Sivanathaswami works on astrology charts for all close devotees that need them

On his desk is a tiny shrine, complete with Siva Lingam

Outside is Kadavul\

s Temple tank'

The banyan trees fill it with their leaves

Kadavul Temple shines golden in the sunlight. Aum Namah Sivaya
