Sri Subramuniya Kottam Dedication for Year 2022
Devotee Rishi Thondunathan reports from Jaffna, Sri Lanka--
"We, the devotees of the Sri Subramuniya Kottam, dedicate the year 2022 (January 5, 2022 - January 5, 2023) as the Year of the Nandinatha Sampradaya for the following, very special reasons:
The 150th birth anniversary of Paramaguru Siva Yogaswami
The 80th jayanthi of Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami
The 50th anniversary of Satguru Bodhinathas initiation by Gurudeva in Alaveddy, Sri Lanka
The 50th anniversary of the installation of Pasupatheswarar Siva Lingam in the Sri Subramuniya (Ashram) Temple in Alaveddy, Sri Lanka
The 40th anniversary of Gurudeva's installation of the Sri Shanthilingam with his own hands in Kopay, Sri Lanka.
For these auspicious reasons, we plan to have celebrations all through this year and are also planning several charitable activities to mark these special occasions.
Above all, our main focus will be completing the "Sri Subramuniya Temple Project," a spiritual sanctuary to preserve our beloved Gurudevas legacy in Sri Lanka."
Rishi also noted that Satguru Bodhinatha's sannyas initiation day and Sivaratri fell on the same day this year. "We had a wonderful Maha Sivarathri and initiation day at our Sri Subramuniya kottam. Nallai Adheenam Karthar, Jaffna Chinmaya Mission Swami, Vethantha Madham swami, kilinochi Chinmaya Mission Brahmachari and Dr. Aru Thirumurugan are the special guests along with the local devotees.
Here with I'm enclosing a few pictures.

If you could climb the inner mountain and review your last 50 lifetimes . . . I wonder if anything compares to being a witness to Gurudeva’s arrival on the world stage . . . bringing the Hindu Gods and Saiva culture to the West through the Master Course Trilogy and creating temples here there and everywhere. Establishing Kauai Aadheenam and His band of dedicated monks based on ancient monastic protocols and insuring a Guru succession for future generations. Giving those of us left behind Satguru Bodhinatha to help us adjust to a world without the Central Sun of our lives. The linking of Kauai Aadheenam and the Sri Subramuniya Temple in Alaveddy, home of His Guru. The creation of Hinduism Today so that the ancient Hindu tradition of a meeting place for all sampradayas to speak out and present their message will continue far into the future. To watch, step by step and day by day the construction of Iriavan Temple – the place where future generations will come to find the deepest part of themselves.

This kind of “SIVA CHINTHANAI” Awakening Agenda is Always Welcome / Necessary,
to Promote Sincere Motivation , to the Upcoming Younger Generation of SAIVA FAMILIES!
They ALL should begin with HUMBLE GURU BHAKTHI, in order to continue with a
Successful Journey , to arrive at SIVAN ARUL!
GURU ARUL LEADS to THIRU ARUL! Therefore, GURU “PAYA PAKTHI” (HUMBLE, SINCERE BHAKTHI.)
