Yogaswami Attends Ardra

Aum Namah Sivaya

Today was the Ardra Nakshatra, a time when our monks perform their monthly abhishekam to Lord Nataraja in Kadavul Temple. After several weeks of perfecting the gold leaf on Yogaswami's statue it was finally complete and this was the day he wanted to move. Yogaswami was brought up to Kadavul Temple and placed before Nataraja for the duration of the puja. Afterwards he was brought through the temple to the Guru Pitam where his small shrine resides and the statue was reinstalled. Aum.

You think that you are the doer and fall into the trap of bondage. But everything was accomplished long ago. Yogaswami
