Appreciating an Enduring Accomplishment

This week, Satguru and many of our monks gathered at Iraivan Temple for an official farewell for three of the silpis who have been here with us for the past few years. Following this photo, they headed to the airport to board their flights home, having masterfully completed their work here. By now they have made their way back to India and to their loving families, who haven't seen them in quite some time. Chinnu will remain here longer as the Aadheenam's chef, and the three remaining siplpis will continue to work on various projects around the temple. As for now, we admire the amazing progress that has taking place during their two-years-plus on the island. Much of itis visible in this one photo. They completed the Nandi Mandapam, they assembled the entire 485-foot-long perimeter wall, and they created these beautiful steps upon which this group photo was taken. Aum Namah Sivaya.
