The Story of Iraivan Temple Documentary Release
Over the years we have released short videos chronicling the all-stone Iraivan Temple’s origins and progress. A longer documentary was created quite some time ago by a well-wisher. Forty-eight years have passed since the late Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami’s initial vision of God Siva to begin the process, and 33 years since the first granite stone block was chiseled in Bengaluru, India.
After the soft-opening consecration in March of this year to begin daily pujas in Iraivan Temple, we commissioned videographers to create an updated documentary film of the whole project through that point. Having completed months of coordination and editing of photo, video and audio resources, we are pleased to release the documentary now.
Join the Live Premiere!
You are cordially invited to a live debut on October 28th at 1pm Hawaii time (HST). Please save this link in your calendar for viewing. It will be made available on here on our youtube channel.
In the Meantime…
Please enjoy this short trailer!

Jai Ganesha!
Jai to the Siva Guru!
To see ALL OF THAT in 39 minutes is almost overwhelming. I kept thinking . . . superconsciousness produces supermen! It’s hard to wrap your mind around the challenges faced and overcome. The supreme devotion, willpower, and persistence to bring Iraivan into full manifestation. Prostrations to the monks of Kauai Aadheenam.🦢🙏🌴🕊🌈🌺

Wonderful tribute to the crystalisation of Gurudeva’s vision of Iraivan. It was all conceived in the Siva Lokam. Hard for the human mind to imagine….37 years of carving. Hats off to the Monks of Kauai Adheenam for their sheer dedication, willpower and steadfastness and hard work. The monks are a model in themselves. Many salutations to the monks.
