Last Day in Texas with Satguru

The short Texas trip ends with a visit to Apple to talk to the monastery's rep, one final satsang and it's bye bye Texas. We also have some random photos from the trip.

Satguru outside of the Apple building. The following six photos chronicle the day before the last of the Texas trip.

This is probably the cutest photo in the world

Satguru is seen here at an HSA event. The youth asked satguru ten questions beforehand and he answered them in an interactive way. The group was fully engaged and pleased. The event was held at the URJ Greene Family Camp.

Last day in the Lone Star State. In the morning we pack our luggage into our silver SUV and check out of the Residence Inn in Temple, Texas, and head off to the Chinmaya Mission Event.

Swami Shivatmananda introduces Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami. Then we show the 90sec intro video and Satguru speaks about Kauai\

s Hindu Monastery and Hinduism Today. The crowd of about 100 people enjoy the talk and have great respect for Kauai Aadheenam.'

We arrive at the Chinmaya Mission Center in Austin. This is a new center and the inside of the stone pillars around the building all have a different pose of Siva dancing. Illuminating the room they have a 6 petal lotus, Swami Shivatmananda says it represents the higher chakras and the intent of the room which is to uplifting everyone who comes in.

Here they are offering a small tray of fruit and then they treat us to a fresh Indian lunch.

Then we drive to our Hotel right next to the Austin Airport. It\

s a modern looking circular building with the inside center as the main lobby.'

Next on the agenda is a darshan session with Neel Bhatt and his two sons

Stay cool, Texas, see you next time around

Another walk by the river, this time there was more light. There were geese, ducks and bats!
