Sun One Homa in Kadavul Temple
January 27, 2016Another phase begins for the monks of Kauai Aadheenam. The early morning darkness remains hidden from the light in the temple. We worship Siva in the fire and we use it as a gateway into the inner worlds. Letter after letter passes through the flames as inner-world beings rush forward to fulfill their marching orders. Join us for this short trip into our daily lives.
