Acharya Arumuganathaswami and Natyam Jayantha recently returned from several days on the mainland. The two were invited to an event at the Sunnyvale Hindu Temple in the Bay Area, which celebrated the success and bright future of the Center for Dharma Studies at the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) in Berkley. Acharya had been asked to be the primary guest speaker and give a presentation on the current position of Hinduism in academic studies and public education. While in the area, our two monks had time to attend several other meetings, do some exercise-driven exploring and visit with our local members, namely the Golden Gate Mission members. Overall it was a successful and uplifting trip.

We begin a new phase with our usual, unbroken routine of having a homa in Kadavul temple. Saravananathaswami leads the group with his powerful chanting.

Kadavul Kodimaram

The Kadavul kodimaram shines majestically while the moon rests under its sails. All is well in paradise.
