One of our monks took this image at the ocean.
The Sun is on one horizon with the full moon behind us on the other- Kadavul starts to receive the early morning light
- Just after sunrise, Ganesha receives his daily abhishekam
- Our family of Nēnē like to land wherever an open, grass field is found in the gardens
- Several flowering trees are blooming bright with thousands of colorful flowers
- Brightly colored dragon flies frequent our streams and ponds
- A light morning shower makes this firework-flower sparkle
Aum Namah Sivaya
Recently Kauai has been having bright sunny days with a few clouds and perfect temperatures. It’s our spring time and the flowers have started blooming everywhere, while the birds and insects are happily enjoying the clear air. During the full moon our monks observed a three day retreat—a good time to appreciate the ocean side, and to take longer walks throughout the monastery gardens. This is the season is when we have Nēnē (our special endemic Hawaiian geese) visiting the property. A specific group (see slideshow) has chosen to make the Aadheenam a consistent stop in their migration cycle. Aum.
