The Monks of Kauai Aadheenam
Today the monks took their new group photo for 2015. We also took a photo of just the sannyasins in front of Nandi.
Listen, while I tell you the Path to Liberation--
Truth, patience, calmness and discipline of self;
Discrimination between the eternal
And the passing;
Devotion to the humble servants of the Lord;
Rising in the early morning
And bathing before daybreak;
Repeating in the way prescribed
The flawless Letters Five;
Worshipping the Guru's Feet;
Applying Holy Ash;
Eating but when hungry;
With the whole heart giving praise;
Studying the Shastras; seeing others as oneself;
Severing attachment to all property and wealth;
Speaking with fit courtesy; avoiding argument;
Driving from the mind
All thought of family and caste;
Being ever free of the smallest like or dislike;
Living and abiding beneath
The Lord's Eternal Feet.
- Yogaswami's Natchintanai, 28

My most favorite group of people on this blue planet,
with infinite love and eternal gratitude,
Aum.
“Let darkness go; the will-o’-the-wisp that leads
With blinking light to pile more gloom on gloom.
This thirst for life, for ever quench; it drags
From birth to death, and death to birth, the soul.
He conquers all who conquers self. Know this
And never yield, Sannyasin bold! Say— “Om Tat Sat, Om!”
