Pilgrims From London Return After Ten Years
Vadivambigai and Konesh came with 24 family members and friends from London to vacation in Hawaii, including visiting Kauai Aadheenam.
Vadivambigai and Konesh visited 10 years ago right after getting married. See this link for that visit when they came for their honey moon and met Gurudeva and Swami Bua. Now they have returned on their tenth anniversary, with two young boys in tow.
Here are Konesh and Vadivambigai outside of Kadavul.
On the way out to Narmada Lingam, the children fed the fish with bananas from our property
The group got organized to collect water for abhishekam
Then everyone took turns offering water…
…and some milk freshly given by our cow this morning.
It was a very busy abhishekam and they sang Siva songs and chanted Aum Namasivaya.

Path to Siva Commentaries
What Is Good Conduct?
Good conduct is right thought, right speech and right action." Apply T-H-I-N-K: true, helpful, inspirational, necessary, kind in our thoughts, words and deeds. "Conduct ourself properly within ourself." Encourage rather than discourage. Praise rather than criticize. Speak an abundance of sincere inspirational words.
Path to Siva, Lesson 55
What Is the Hindu Way of Greeting?
"Namaste" and "vanakkam," core practices of greeting. Recognizing that God is within everyone, the same God within me is within you. A Hindu concept not necessarily believed by other religions. Bowing to God is one of the ways we strengthen our humility and lessen our sense of ego and pride.
Path to Siva, Lesson 56
How Do We Get Along with Others?
For peace in the world stop the war in the home." The key to world peace is inside the individual. The most important thing I can do today is be peaceful. Harmony, peace and tolerance radiate out to the community from the home and from the Hindu temple. "Everything is all right, right now." Affirmation is a useful tool to move out of a disturbed state of mind. Practice being in the eternal now.
