Cement Pour for Siddhidata Kulam New Maintenance Building
Granite Tile Installation Forging Ahead
The team installing the Iraivan floor in the second prakaram is gaining momentum. It has taken weeks to map out the puzzle (65 different sizes of tile) and prepare the surfaces. And now tiles are going down. Even today, which is Saturday, the team is on the job, pushing hard, arriving at 6:30am in the dark to get a quick start on the day. See a retro slideshow that goes back to tile arrival and floor prep.

Foundations for a New Siddhidatta Kulam Shop
Jai Ganesha!
Over the past year the monks of the Siddhidatta Kulam of been quietly and gradually working on a special project–the construction of a new shop area to work in. Currently, when a tractor bucket is in need of a good sledge-hammering, or a weed whacker is in need of fixing and testing, the location available is near the main monastery buildings. It's a little small for the amount of work it's used for and it also happens to be within an audible range of Satguru's office. After months of careful planning, the concrete foundation for a new structure has been poured! The monks of the Siddhidatta Kulam made sure to bless the area beforehand and to give a shawl and offerings to the team doing the cement work. The excavator then broke ground and the team successfully created a flawless foundation for the new building. Aum.
