Jai Ganesha!
A few days ago, the same roofing team that worked on Kadavul Temple completed the roofing for the side shrines of Lord Ganesha and Lord Muruga. Both roofs were previously in poor condition, but they now look significantly improved—cleaner, neater, and much more presentable. Aum.

For the past few months, we have been actively posting on Instagram, including the Path to Siva carousel series and Gurudeva’s quotes in Stories. Recently, we launched a new series based on one of our publications, Gurudeva’s Spiritual Toolbox. It is an illustrated booklet that compiles key spiritual “tools” or practices taught by Gurudeva over his many decades of spiritual service. We have condensed each chapter into a 4-slide carousel format. We will be posting a new chapter every Sunday at 9 AM. Above is Chapter 2, titled “Worried About the Future,” which we shared last Sunday. Below is the link to the post. Aum!

Over the past six months, Acharya Kumarnathaswami and Sadhaka Shankaranatha have been crafting wooden cladding to go around the existing fish tank frame in the Hale Hana office space. They used ear pod wood grown on the island, which had been chainsaw-milled many years ago and left to dry in our sawmill. This was the monks’ first time working with this lumber.
After milling it in the sawmill, the wood went through jointing, planing, shaping, sanding, and finally oiling. The project was then installed by the monks. The assembly went very smoothly thanks to Acharya’s extensive planning. It was quite a challenge, as the existing frame was not near the shop, so all measurements had to be exact.
In recent weeks, as many of you have seen, we wrapped up the project. We used tung oil sealer followed by a tung oil hard oil for the topcoat. It was an amazing experience for Sadhaka Shankaranatha, who is just beginning to learn finish carpentry. The cladding blends beautifully with the koa vinyl flooring in our new office space.
