Gifts for the Guru Peedam
Three days back a pair of large orange DHL boxes arrived from India and yesterday the monks opened them to find the most amazing collection of bolsters and pillows ever made. Each one a work of art, varying in style and color but radiating a sense of culture and design unique to India.
Every piece was clearly agonized over, from the fabric selections to the sewing, from the wild tassels to the classy way the zippers are hidden. We had to immediately go to the Guru Peedam and install the first one of the four sets sent. Bodhinatha has a nice surprise waiting for him when he returns from Mauritius on July 10th.
The boxes also held ten meditation cushions for Kadavul Temple and a curtain to hang behind Satguru, a red and gold one fit for a raja, or in this case a Satguru.
With our deep appreciation to Jigisha Patel and her talented tailor friend Uma (and her entire team based in Gujarat).

These are just beautiful! May those who made these be blessed, for with each stitch of the needle love and prana from hands surely went into the works. Thank you to the artisans!
