Alaveddy's Subramuniya Temple

Today we received six photos from Sri Lanka, and the good news that the temple is finished. Installation of the Sivalingam is scheduled for March 27 and will be presided over by none other than Sri Prasanna Kurukkal from Nallur Temple, who will conduct the Kumbhabhishekam rites. Thondunatha tell us they are now at work on infrastructure, plumbing, electrical, storage facilities, etc. For those who are new to the area, Alaveddy is where Gurudeva stayed as a young man, in the home of Kandiah Chettiar (on this very property, the house has been removed), It was Chettiar who introduced Gurudeva to Yogaswami in 1949. Thondunatha ended his note saying, "Everyone, especially the people of Alaveddy, are so excited to see this beautiful unique shrine in their village."

Enjoy the photos of this meditation pavilion soon to be open to all, a place of solace and quietude to inspire the inward journey that Yogaswami spoke of so often.

It\

s made with bricks and plaster and was recently painted. Ganesha is to be installed on the left, and Murugan on the right. '

An openness that can only be allowed in the tropics.

Nandi is amazingly like the Kadavul nandi. Wonder where they got the design for His pitham?

Side view.

Congratulations to the team in Sri Lanka who manifested this marvel swiftly and elegantly!
