Siva

Vel Muruga!

Pradeep and his two helpers continue to clear fallen trees on the Aadhenam property. Today, they are working on trees located in the cow pasture area. They skillfully chainsaw fallen banyans and palms. They freed up the pasture area so the tractor can mow and cows can roam again. Cleaning these areas brings back access for the monks to care for the animals. After the pasture was cleared, two major trees were handled that fell over the ditch. The area was very narrow for the excavator to access so his helpers started by clearing the way through.

After many hours of chainsawing, Pradeep needed to get across the ditch to access the fallen branches on both sides in order to move them. Pradeep used cut sections of the fallen banyan as a bridge to maneuver across. It was amazing to see his ingenious idea accomplished safely and effectively.

Our German shepherd, Bhairava, inspects the excavator that Pradeep operates during the day. He is very happy with the progress. After a productive phase for all the kulams, the monks head into a full moon retreat to replenish their pranas and prepare for another phase of dancing, living, and merging with Siva!

Aum Namah Sivaya!
