Bangkok Congress
The World Hindu Congress, held every four years, invited Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami to Bangkok to receive a special honorary award. He and Arumuganathaswami flew there and attended three days of events and panels. On the first night, the award was given from the stage before a crowd of some 2,000 Hindu leaders from across the globe.
Arumuganathaswami presented a Keynote on the magazine during one of six Hindu Media conferences. He also played the one minute Iraivan trailer to introduce all to Kauai Aadheenam, and we are told there were near gasps from the audience in seeing the beauty and sanctity of Mahalingesvara's Hawaiian home.
You can see a short and articulate introduction by clicking on the video below, followed by Bodhinatha's ten-minute presentation:

Jai Satguru! Jai Gurudeva! Such a great honor for HT and the selfless contributions of the monks of Kauai’s Hindu Monastery and the magazine’s many contributors. Wonderful acceptance speech, Bodhinatha.

How wonderful to see Bodhinatha and the work of the monks so honored. When Satguru Bodhinatha talked about Gurudeva’s perception of isolated Hindu groups around the world from His travels and more importantly what He did about it! Wow – it really renewed a deeper appreciation for the scope and remarkable service that Hinduism Today has become.
