Indian Swamis Visit the Monastery

Six monks and three grihastha devotees reached Kauai's shores after planning a trip for decades. They are from SGVP, Swaminarayan Gurukul Vishwavidya Pratishthanam, a major Swaminarayan institution based in Gujarat (and around the globe). They are led by HH Swami Shree Madhavpriyadasji Swami, a disciple of P.P.Sadguru Shastriji Maharaj Shree Dharamjivandasji Swami, the founder of ancient Gurukul system in modern era. Swamiji is one of 12 Hindu spiritual leaders governing the renowned Hindu Dharm Acharya Sabha, a leading organization of Hinduism for interfaith religious harmony. They spent two days discovering the Aadheenam and Iraivan Temple, meeting with Bodhinatha, exploring Kauai (yes, helicopters were involved!) and enjoying a bit of downtime from their intense daily service. Such a joy to be with them.
