Kumarappan Family visit from Fremont, California

Many years ago, Mrs. Ulagu Kumarappan attended the Palaniswami temple Gurudeva had established in San Francisco in 1960. Then she attended the Siva Murugan temple in Concord, also established by Gurudeva, in 1986. And a few days ago, she and four members of her family visited our Kadavul temple, here on Kauai.

About 20 years ago, she and a friend, on the occasion of Thai Pusam, undertook a walking pilgrimage from Fremont, where they lived, to the temple in Concord, a distance of about 40 miles.

As the years went by, they repeated the feat and gradually more and more people joined in. This year, about 500 pilgrims left from Fremont, others joined along the way, and by the time they arrived, they were about 1000-strong.

All along the way, well-wishers have established stations where they offer the pilgrims rest, refreshment and encouragement.
