San Marga is the straight, spiritual path leading to the ultimate goal, Self Realization, without detouring into unnecessary psychic exploration or pointless development of siddhis. §

Kauai Aadheenam’s most prominent place of worship for members, students and sādhana yātrikas is the San Mārga Sanctuary, an extraordinary meditation tīrtha at the foot of the extinct volcano, Mount Waialeale. San Mārga is the straight path to God, through rudrāksha, neem and konrai forests, marshes, bogs and wild bird sanctuaries, where pheasants are protected from local hunters. This realm includes the Svayambhū Śivaliṅga. San Mārga is entered through the Rudrāksha Meditation Forest at the opposite site of the 363-acre monastery land. San Mārga, the straight path to God, and the Svayambhū Liṅga area is “the place where the world comes to pray,” as predicted in our Śaivite Śāstras.§
