A Short Summary of Two Great Temples

Recenty Jiva sent us this short comparison of Brihadeeswara Temple in Tanjavore and our own Iravian Temple here in Hawaii. See below.

From Gurudeva:
"Visiting a Hindu temple, receiving darshan from the majestic Gods of our religion, can altogether change the life of a worshiper. It alters the flow of the pranas, or life currents, within his body. It draws his awareness into the deeper chakras. It adjusts his beliefs and the attitudes that are the natural consequence of those beliefs. But the change is slow. He lives with the experience for months and months after his visit to the temple. He comes to know and love the Deity. The Deity comes to know and love him, helping and guiding his entire evolutionary pattern.

"Darshan coming from the great temples of our Gods can change the patterns of karma dating back many past lives, clearing and clarifying conditions that were created hundreds of years ago and are but seeds now, waiting to manifest in the future. Through the grace of the Gods, those seeds can be removed if the manifestation in the future would not enhance the evolution of the soul."

    There is so much similarities in Rajaraja Chola and Gurudeva’s mission.The two pictures also reelect these similarities. I certainly feel it is more than just coincidence .Aum namah Shivaya!

    Gurudeva was the reincarnation of Rajaraja Chola. There is a DVD documentary from the Kauai’s Hindu Monastery on this.

    Jai Jai Shree Maha Ganesh!
    Thank you for the Short Summary Comparing the two Great Siva Temples! Having visited both Temples, I realized that such a feat cannot be accomplished without the blessing of Lord Siva himself. India is truly a land of mystics and now we have, thanks to the great vision of Gurudeva a Temple in the West similar to Brihadeshwara Siva Temple in Tanjavur.

    Thanks Nigel Siva for alerting us of the existence of the DVD Documentary about Gurudeva and I would love to see it if the Monks would post it on the web. Thank you Satguru and all the Swamis for your contribution to Hinduism worldwide.

    Aum Namasivaya!
