Vel and Ramesh

Jai Ganesha!

For many months the aadheenam has enjoyed the presence of two taskforcers, Vel Mahalingum and Ramesh Sivanathan. Today Ramesh boarded a plane back to Malaysia, and in a few days Vel will make his way back to Mauritius after a stopover in Europe. As we've seen in previous posts, these two have been making many contributions while here. We're very thankful for their dedication and tireless seva. Towards the end of their stay the two visited our new Bronze Hanuman during this year's Tamil Hanuman Jayanti on January 5th. They also traveled out to the Rudraksha forest and Iraivan Temple for a final visit. Aum Namah Sivaya.

We take a closer look at the bronze Iraivan Temple that He holds in His hand

After that, it\

The roots grow tall here

Ramesh finds some seeds

Vel has been doing some cleaning here. That pile behind him is just one pile of green matter that he has cleaned from the forest floor

The siplis are happy the recent rains have let up.

Aum Sivaya

Thank you Vel!

Thank you Ramesh!
