Looking Back
Inaugurating the bridge over Narmada Stream- Putting the roof on Kadavul Temple Deity shrines
- San Marga being created.
- The Swayambhu Lingam and San Marga path
- Day after hurricane Iniki
- Building the road over the Rishi Valley stream
- Yes, this is the giant banyan tree near Kadavul, in 1968
- Here is the land where Nandi now sits in front of Kadavul Temple with the temple pool behind!
Today we look back in time to early days on Kauai with Gurudeva. It comes as part of our reflections of his life, focused by the fact that in 11 months we will celebrate his 100th birthday in a simple way.
It is a reminder that when Gurudeva moved to Kauai and founded the monastery, it was a rough parcel of land, covered by wild guava and hau bush. There was little hint in those early years of the beauty that the monks would lure forth with decades of creative effort. Instead there was weed tree removal, path building, clay and mud everywhere. But that was then and now is different. So join us in a handful of photos that tell of those early days in the 70s and 80s.
Fish Tank special addition
Jai Ganesha!
A few months ago, the Siddhidata Kulam installed a fish tank in their new office. They are now planning to add a new feature by installing a casing around the tank to enhance its appearance. Sadhaka Shankaranatha is currently working on selecting the right wood for this project. This initial step involves cutting the wood, removing any rotten portions and beginning to craft it according to the size of the fish tank. Aum.

New Hibiscus Tree
- New Hibiscus Tree
- These are the kind of flowers the new tree will produce
Jai Ganesha!
We have recently planted new hibiscus trees around our property. Due to a lack of sufficient rainfall, the plants are not receiving enough natural water. Because of this, Sannyasin Saravanathaswami has been watering the trees regularly to ensure they remain healthy. These hibiscus flowers are mainly used to decorate Kadavul Temple’s Nataraja and the Crystal Lingam at Iraivan Temple. Aum
