Mauritius Visit 2023-- Sevaka Appreciation

They are amazing, giving long hours each week and month to manage the homa (attended by 4-5,000 each month on the first Sunday), hold Saiva Siddhanta classes, host Zoom teaching sessions, make garlands, guide visitors, maintain and enhance the landscape, and more.

Paramacharya gave each one a "ponnadai." The ponnadai is a ceremonial shawl that is draped over someone to honor or appreciate them for their achievements or contributions. It is often presented at weddings, religious ceremonies, and public events to show respect and admiration. They certainly deserve this honoring. Thank you, one and all. You made our week, our month, our year.

These are most, not all, of the men and women who not only engineered our trip, but run the entire Spiritual Park

Premilla greets us.

Off to the Gurudeva Mandapam for an hour of togetherness and shared purpose.

Paramacharya marvels at all they do to cope with up to ten thousand visitors in a single day.

The Ganesha murti is more beautiful than we remember.
