New Taskforcers Arrive

This week, Kodiswara Jothiswarar and Dean Drulias arrived at the monastery for six months of our taskforce program. Kodiswara's father Selvanathan is also here for a week long visit. While here the two will rotate through the different monastic kulams, learning about our many areas of service. Kodishwara is here from Malaysia to spend time living like a monk before choosing whether to live a family life or to follow the fiery path of renunciation. Dean is here from California and is interested in monastic life.

Sutra 316 of the Nandinatha Sutras
Monastic Life's Fourfold Purpose
Siva's monastics lead a joyous, contented, steadfast, humble life. Their purpose is contemplation upon and love of Siva, to maintain Siva consciousness, realize the Self and uplift others while serving their satguru. Aum.
