Arrival in Kuala Lumpur
September 7, 2023A short flight from Singapore brought our swamis to Malaysia to be met by senior kulapatis at the airport. Paramacharya had not visited for several years, and Tillainathaswami had only been inside the airport, not in the country. After a happy reuniion, off we were swept to our hotel which looks out over the city which has about 8 million citizens. We will be here for five days, with opportunities to be with members as our primary goal. Gurudeva came here often and it is easy to feel his presence in the faces of the shishyas who want to talk about Gurudeva, listen to Gurudeva stories and be with other Gurudeva devotees. So we feel right at home.
At the airport
...welcome, Swamis
First thing checking in is to establish a small shrine in the room even before unpacking.
Two key players in our visit. Sivajnani Nagappan on the far right who did all of the heavy coordination and Raviroy on the left, driver, raconteur and humanitarian helping the underpriviledged in Myanmar.
First day lunch was hosted at the home of Eswaran and Umayal. A more authentic Sri Lankan meal you will never find, on a banana leaf from their garden! They are building a university in Kuala Lumpur with deep Saiva roots.
All due to the blessings of our Gurudeva.
