Enjoying the Seasonal Rains

Jai Ganesha!

This week our little island has been seeing a large weather system rolling over. We've had so much rain in the last 24 hours that our rain gauge has overflown and our river has risen substantially. A time to deeply appreciate whoever invented the umbrella. In other news, our monks recently cleaned the ocean air-induced build up on the surface of Iraivan Temple's Avudaiyar. Now the temple's inner sanctum is enjoying a newfound glow. In our vegetable gardens we have a new pumpkin patch coming online, which will be the inspiration for some hearty pumpkin curries. Yum!

Monks in the Media Studio watch as the waterfall nearly disappears to the rising water.

The river is doing some free landscaping and also moving some logs

Another river? Nope. This is Narmada Stream

Yogaswami enjoys the cleansing rains

In Iraivan Temple, Yogi Dayanatha is soda-blasting the Avudaiyar

It received some green colorations on its ocean journey

Dusty work!

It sure shines up nice!

Later we find Dayanatha in the gardens. Someone gifted us these lovely bananas.

And in the vegetable patch, we find the pumpkins that Nirvani Tejadevanatha has been nurturing.

These three mounds are in our lower garden

s of flowers mean lots of fruit!'

Jai!
