Iraivan Temple Update - June 26th

Aum Namah Sivaya,

Today we bring you a quick update of the progress on Iraivan Temple's lavarock wall and the front stairway, along with a photographic tour along the path of the satgurus. Both of these areas of temple construction are progressing quickly. The lavarock on the east side is almost at full height and the front stairway only has one more step to go! Aum.

Over at the temple we find a growing wall

The east side is almost there!

Soon a concrete truck will arrive to fill in behind the stones

That\

s some fancy stone work!'

seamless.

The front steps are almost complete

The final step is being worked on. It has to be done just right, in order to meet the top of the future tile which will sit atop the foundation.

Stones now fully line the west side. You can see the original sample section to the right.

And off into the gardens, for those of you who are missing your regular pilgrimages here.

Our destination today.

We wonder off towards Rishi Nandinatha

He sits in the partial shade

Above him are colorful leaves aplenty

Next over to Tirumular, he has glistening waters below his hillside

He\

s still writing his words of wisdom!'

Rishi sits by the river bank

above him, a tree reaches for the moon (that small white dot)

Kadaitswami is found off in the jungle

Rudrakshas nearby

Chelleppaguru sits beneath the banyan trees

and across the river we find Yogaswami

he has a bright lily pond in front of him

\"Stand upright. Be disciplined. Be friendly. You will lack nothing\"

And next to Gurudeva. He enjoys his spot near the Narmada Lingam.

\"Those who are free from the past remember the future and move the forces of all three worlds for a better life for themselves and for all mankind.\"

And Bodhinatha, of course

\"There\

s no scripture that surpasses what you\'ll find inside yourself\"'

\"Be That which never changes.\"
