Millions all over the world have been celebrating Ganesha Chaturti. We had many visitors arrive at Kadavul to recieve Lord Ganapit's Darshan. After the powrful puja, everyone headed down to the river for the submergance of our many clay Ganeshas, the water was beautiful as the sun set over the mountain.

Over the retreat several of the monks went for a hike up in Kokee, and, much to everyone's suprise, found a small redwood forest in the middle of Kauai.

Today we started off the phase with a powerful Homa fire.

One of our larger, and at times more dangerous cow's got loose and decided to eat a wide veriety of our decorative plants. She eventually went back in without a fuss.

Here is a slideshow of some photos of our mother and master potter Vicki Hamilton's recent creations. [slidepress gallery='2010-03-05-vicki-hamilton-pots']
