How to Say “Thank You”?
When we set our 2021 Digital Dharma Drive goal at $75,000 back in October, it was not a certainty that we would reach it by year's end. We hoped, but could not know.
Today we know that the goal was reached, and exceeded significantly. Our supporters around the blue sphere we call home sent almost $100,000, a number that will enable us to do some amazing things in the year ahead. We know this is an affirmation of Gurudeva's life and mission. Gurudeva gave unusual prominence to communications, beginning with publishing books and evolving into audio books, spiritual art, the Master Course study, web sites, children's resources and more.
He would certainly be heartened by this unstinting response from hundreds of you who love his vision of a global Hindu family coupled with a strong affirmation of Saivite tradition and who trust his small band of monks to carry that mission forward into the next decade. We honor his vision with a short slideshow today.
Just saying Mahalo nui loa seemed paltry, so we want to give you something that might brighten your year. It is a link to our newest book, Lion Sage: Merging with Siva for Children. It took three years to design, write and illustrate this kids' book, and now we find adults are reading it, for fun. If you know families with boys and girls around 6 to 10, you may share this with them, a creative way for parents to connect spiritually with the young ones and for kids to learn about mystical life while being entertained. Gurudeva loved to give kids books about their culture and religion, to impress their young minds before the power of worldliness came into their lives.
Please know without a doubt that you have prodded us forward another twelve months by your generosity.

Wonderful gift!!! Thank you! We just had guests with us – and they had a little girl woke up singing to the gods every morning. It was so enchanting! The Mom and her came back from the Temple one day with this book (The hard cover – which is amazing) and they were so excited! Can you imagine being a little one and this is your bedtime story! That’s a birth worth waiting for!
