Siddhidata Kulam New Office Underway
For years the Siddhidata Kulam has been managing all their work from a old office trailer that we purchase after the last hurricane. Recently it was decided to completely renovate the room that we use to call "Kabuki Hall" just outside Gurudeva's office which is now Bodhinatha's office. The team has been working for many months complete cleaning out old walls and wiring and putting in new electrical circuits.
then time finally arrive for the magic to happen which was to cover the walls with sheet rock, add stucco and then paint. For this we called in the Master we know as John Anderson. Over the retreat he lead the team in the cover the walls with sheet rock and today the went to work finishing the walls and spraying on the stucco.

How Do We Meditate, Part 2
"Adjust yourself to the realization that you are a divine being, a self-effulgent, radiant being of light."
Jyoti is the Sanskrit word for inner light. To bestow on devotees terms that were more specific, Gurudeva developed the Shum Language of Meditation. In Shum the word for the light that lights up the mind is balikana. During Shum meditation there is an indrawing of forces to realize balikana, a moon-like glow, leading to iftye a deeper kind of inner light which, in turn, leads to milinaka, a sustained iftye which doesn't go away and can be sustained after we've finished our meditation.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Anderson during my latest visit to Kauai. A lovely man, father to a lovely son. God bless them both for all the good work they do for the Monastery!
