Sivathondu at Kauai Aadheenam
When noble souls pilgrimage to the Aadheenam, they pack, along with their great love of God and guru, their lifetime toolbox of skills and knowledge. Often they want to help the Satguru's global mission, and such is the case with Madan Ganesh Velayudham who was here for ten days recently. Of course, his first priority was his sadhanas and spiritual progress. But he also has immense skills in the digital universe, and worked with the Ganapati Kulam, bringing a high-end expertise we seldom have access to. Then, before flying back to his home in Bengaluru, he set forth some plans to enhance the monastery websites, improve and promote our apps, translate Tamil texts and more. Mikka nandri, Madan. And thank you family--Sumathi, Oviaa and Guru Saasta--for letting you venture to the other side of the planet.

Wow! Aum Shivaya ! Jai Ganesha ! Jai Karthikeya !
Thank you Satguru Bodhinatha, Paramacharya Sadasivanathaswami for allowing me to make this pilgrimage. My aathmartha thank you to my dear Gurudeva for choosing me, one of the sincere student, and driving me for the last two years from the inner worlds.
I enjoyed every second at our Kauai Aadheenam. If there are ever-kind-loving persons in the world (next to God Siva, Lord Ganesha and Lord Muruga), then, its got to be in Kauai Aadheenam.
Starting with “Kaalai Vanakkam” and those tasty coffees (Starbucks – pls learn the recipe from Paramacharya) and Ganapathi Kulam’s code of ethics and conduct – Powerful mantras and affirmations – are sure to purify one.
There are four apps from Ganapathi Kulam (handcrafted by our swamis):
1. Siva Siva App :https://www.himalayanacademy.com/view/sivasiva
2. Spiritual Workout App: https://www.himalayanacademy.com/view/spiritual-workout
3. Hinduism Today App: https://www.himalayanacademy.com/view/hinduism-today
4. Gurudeva App: https://www.himalayanacademy.com/view/gurudeva
I use all the four apps regularly and it was a blessing to see how these are made.
Kadavul Temple pujas including Muruga Puja, Siva Puja, Ganapathi Puja helped me to go deeper. I just fall in love with the deity. Each and every swami is so simple, powerful and they are just like Siva.
I used to wonder why I was learning so many technologies, it was all meant to surrender to our Aadheenam and Gurus.
Last but not the least, the “Iraivan temple”, “Suyambu Lingam”, “Sanmarga”, “Guru Parampara”, “Murugan Hill”, “Hanuman”, “Rudraksha Forest” …I wish I could stay back and continue.
I thank my family for their support. There are two other families that I’m very grateful for: Kulapathi Jiva & Family and Kulapathi Deva Seyon & family. It made the trip/preparation/execution seamless.
I am very proud to be a student of the Himalayan Academy.
Jai our guru parambara !
Jai Gurudeva ! Jai Bodhinatha.
Adiyen.

Madan, you are a gifted soul, and makes me happy that the entire time of your pilgrimage to Iraivan was truly Sivathondu. Om Sivaya.
