Today at Kauai Aadheenam
A Daily Chronicle of Kauai's Hindu Monastery

"When we restrain our tendencies to deceive, to lie and break promises, our external life is uncomplicated, as is our subconscious mind. Honesty is the foundation of truth. It is ecologically, psychologically purifying."

What Happened Today at the Monastery?
Bodhinatha and his team are still in transit and should arrive in Kuala Lumpur shortly.
The roof beams over the West facing Raja Gopuram we placed by our team the day before yesterday.
The ground team relaxes while the silpis work aloft
We are beginning to see some completed looking angles now...
Fine tuning the joints.
