Teta: The Happy Calf
May 2, 2016Our newest and arguably cutest aadheenam resident, Teta the Jersey calf, enjoys spending bonding time with her human family just as much than her bovine one. The simple, spontaneous joy which comes from playing with kids, be they human or animal, is infectious and uplifting. They have much to teach us.

Shanmuganathaswami is the overseer of all things cow inside the aadheenam. His love for them is most easily seen when in the presence of new calves.

Teta knows she recognizes this person. But what\
s that big black thing he\'s holding up in front of his face?'

Like a puppy, she\
s ever in a state of playfulness. It doesn\'t take much to get her going.'

Teta, especially in the sunlight, is a beautiful, deep rusty ochre. Just like her Amma.

Wait. Who\
s that? She sees her human Amma, Shanmuganathaswami. She\'s been meaning to speak with him...'

\"Swami, can I ask you a question? I\
ve been trying to figure something out...\"'

\"Of course, little Teta. What\
s on your mind?\"'

\"Swami, who is Siva?\"

\"No one told you? Siva is the life of your life. *You* are Siva, Teta!\"

\"No way! For real?!\"

\"I am Siva! I am Siva! So are you! So are you! Party with me!\"
