Dear Devotees:

This weekend we have the opportunity to listen to two spiritual masters. First, that of Br. Girish Chaitanya, Acharya, Chinmaya Mission, Austin,  now very familiar to all of us. He continues his discourse on KATHOPANISHAD. That will be on Friday the 2nd at 6:30 p.m. He needs no introduction.

 

Veylanswami, spiritual leader of Kauai Aadheenam, Hawaii. This is once in a blue moon type opportunity to listen to an internationally recognized leader. The Aadheenam is the publisher of Hinduism Today.

In 2011Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami was honored by the Sivacharyas of India for overseeing a three-year project that digitized over a million inscribed palm leaves to preserve and share with the world ten thousand deteriorating manuscripts, including Saiva Agamas and other important scriptures. He has been the monastery's head since the founder, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, attained mahasamadhi in 2001. Subramuniyaswami, known affectionately as Gurudeva, designated Bodhinatha, a disciple for 37 years, as his successor.

Most of the year finds him on the island of Kauai, where he oversees the varied publications of Himalayan Academy and serves as publisher of the international magazine Hinduism Today. At the 363-acre monastery-temple complex, he trains the younger monks in their service duties and spiritual practices, and guides the lives of hundreds of families around the globe.

Bodhinatha is immersed in a series of educational projects and international seminars that focus on bringing religious instruction to Hindu youth, and on pamphlets and books that present Gurudeva's teachings in thoughtful, step-by-step style. A recent project produced the first two books of the series Hindu Children's Modern Stories, based on the yamas and niyamas, Hinduism's ethical restraints and religious observances.

Bodhinatha travels intensely, teaching Hinduism and consecrating major Hindu temples around the world. He has personally blessed the openings of temples in North America, Australia and India. Communities across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, South Asia and elsewhere have brought him to speak to their devotees.

Additionally, he guides the financial and administrative staff of four major nonprofit organizations, including the ten-million-dollar Hindu Heritage Endowment, a non-profit trust serving Hindu institutions globally, for which he was the principal architect under Gurudeva's guidance.
