On November 27 the world's largest active volcano began erupting for the first time in 40 years (we remember that one!). Today it seems to be subsiding and though they don't know with certainty, volcanologists think it will keep waning in the days ahead.

Some have worried about the monastery, but we are over 300 miles away on a distant island. Our island stopped erupting 4 million years back, so we are safe!

It's quite a show, as the slideshow proves.

Aloha all, If you have not already heard AI research and development company openAI recently released their latest conversational chat AI. This technology release is more revolutionary than the Iphone even though many don't realize it yet. You communicate with the AI system just like you would text a friend and can ask any question imaginable and the computer will respond. Well, almost anything, it won't tell you what it's favorite color is. You can ask it to explain topological quantum computing to you in a way a 5 year old could understand or have it generate a bedtime story about how mushika flies to the moon every night to eat cheese. We are currently experimenting with it's capabilities to assist in our mission as well as Hinduism in general.   Please try it for yourself so you are better prepared to understand the effects advanced artificial technologies will have on society. Here is a link to try it for free - https://chat.openai.com/chat   I will give some examples here but you have to promise to try it yourself after looking at them!

  Funny rap battle the AI wrote a few days ago- Murugan: I'm Murugan, the god of war and victory, With my spear and vel, I'll defeat any enemy. My six faces show my wisdom and power, I'll crush you, Ganesha, in this rap shower. Ganesha: I may not have a weapon or a warrior's might, But I have the power of knowledge and insight. I am Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, I'll outsmart you, Murugan, with my eloquent prose. Murugan: You may be smart, Ganesha, but you lack strength, I'll take you down with just one swift length. My war cries will shake the earth and sky, While you'll cower in fear and start to cry. Ganesha: You may have brute force, Murugan, but you lack grace, I'll outmaneuver you with speed and space. My intelligence and wit are my greatest weapons, I'll defeat you without breaking a sweat. Murugan: We may have our differences, Ganesha, but in the end, We are brothers and we will always defend. Our powers may be different, but they both are great, Together, we will always dominate.   Aum Namah Sivaya!

Satguru Bodhinatha answers many questions today, in relation to how we can keep our mind crystal-clear, living without any fear, and keeping the subconscious garage neat, clear and full of cheer!
