Jai Ganesha!

Today, we took a stroll through the greenhouse and had the pleasure of speaking with Mayilnathaswami, who was in the midst of harvesting fresh greens. We took the opportunity to ask Swami if he could show us around, and he graciously agreed. As he guided us through the greenhouse, he shared insightful updates on how quickly the greens are growing and explained how to determine the right time for harvesting them. It was a wonderful experience to learn firsthand about the care and timing involved in nurturing these vibrant plants.

Jai Ganesha!

Today, April 1st, we officially began the Samvatsara Puja, starting with the Krittika Homa in the morning. In the afternoon, the Samvatsara Homa commenced in the presence of Satguru. Tomorrow is the final day, and we will be live-streaming the concluding puja. The link above is for everyone to click and join. Aum.

Jai Ganesha!

Hope everyone is doing great! Today, we decided to take a peaceful stroll around the monastery to soak in the serene atmosphere and capture its beauty. As we walked through the sacred grounds, we couldn’t help but admire the tranquil surroundings, the lush greenery, and the timeless architecture. We took some beautiful photos of the Aadheenam, hoping to share a glimpse of this divine space with you all. May these images bring you a sense of peace and inspiration. Aum!

Jai Ganesha!

On 10th March, the Siddhidata Kulam’s mathavasi celebrated our dearest Bhairava’s birthday. He enjoyed a peanut butter cake and a handsome bow tie. Bhairava is more than just a dog for us, he is like another monk and gentle protector. Having Bhairava with us is a great blessing for all us. Even though it was last week you’ll can still wish him a happy birthday, and we make sure he gets all the wishes. Aum!

On March 9th, the Siddhidata Kulam’s new office was officially inaugurated. A small puja to bless the new office was performed by Mayilnathaswami, with Satguru and the monks attending. Later, after the puja, Yoginathaswami gave a tour of the office, explaining the space and how it would be utilized. It has been a 26 year goal for Siddhidata Kulam to eventually create this new office and machine-shop, reflecting the patience and dedication of the kulam’s monks.
