Satguru Speaks on Stephen Covey's Seven Habits
This video was created by the monastery for a Hindu Students Association leadership conference called Dharma Initiative, held in Plano, Texas, on May 21. Dharma Initiative is an annual leadership training conference where young Hindu leaders around the United States are invited for professional leadership development. The HSA expressed much gratitude to Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami for creating this video for them.
At this year’s conference, workshop topics were: Positive Affirmations (using materials written by Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami and presented in a seminar to HSA’s national officers earlier this year), A Hindu Take on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People of Stephen Covey, Improving Relationships, Identifying and Maximizing Personal Strengths, Individual Development, Hindus/HSA in American Fabric, Speaking to Win, and Social Media’s Role in Multiplying Efforts.

A Most Illustrious Guest
Lord Subrahmanya Himself came today, Pleaiadean God, Master of advanced yoga, in whose sannyasins and rishis take refuge. His is the library from which Gurudeva read decades ago, drawing forth the wisdom that defines and pervades our church and our monastic order.
Today is Vaikashi Vishakham, one of Muruga’s holy days. Watch the homa and the puja in a short video the monks have created out of love for Siva, for you — and for the graceful ascetic of the inner realms, Lord Muruga.
