2002 ANNUAL CONFERENCE EXCURSION EXCURSION TO KAUAI'S HINDU MONASTERY Kauai Aadheenam, also known as Kauai's Hindu Monastery, is a traditional South-Indian style monastery-temple complex on the mystical Garden Island of Kauai in the Hawaiian chain, way out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The current Guru Mahasannidhanam is Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami the successor to Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami. This powerful spiritual sanctuary on 458 acres of tropical lushness was founded by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (below) (1927-2001) and is the home of Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami and the order of 24 swamis, yogis and sadhakas and is the Theological Seminary for Saiva Siddhanta Church. Kauai's Hindu Monastery is also home to Himalayan Academy, Hindu Heritage Endowment. Two traditional Saivite Hindu temples are located on the monastery's 458 acres, Kadavul Temple and the new San Marga Iraivan Temple, a massive white granite Chola-style temple currently being carved in Bangalore, India, and whose stones are now being shipped to Hawaii and are currently being assembled here on Kauai. We ask visitors to bring an umbrella and wear modest clothing, no shorts, short dresses, t-shirts, tank tops. Hindu dress is ideal. Guests are invited to visit our bookshelf and give a modest love offering. Remember, it is always prudent, even in paradise, not to leave valuables in your car.
