Hilo Inter-Tribe Pow Wow, Hawaii, May 2008

This year I had the great fortune to watch this inter-festival, where many American Native and Hawaiian Tribes get together to celebrate it through dance and typical music. I was very impressed by their costumes and dance. I did not try the food, but I am sure for those who love native food; it was a real feast!

Below are some pictures from the event:

The Super Science of Gayatri Mantra

This morning, after practicing my meditations, I turn on the computer and browsed the word Kleem Mantra, and for my surprise I found this wonderful online book, with a well elaborated explanation about the scientific aspects of the Gayatri Mantra. At the same time it gives an interesting Vedic version of Gayatri, where it explains that Gayatri is the original source of the Vedas, so it is called Vedamata and Kleen, Sreem and Hreem (Kali, Lakshmi and Sarasvati) are emanations of it known as Adiya-Shakti-Gayatri.

Here is the e-book:

Pahoa Bhajans

Here are some good folks organizing the Yoga-Shala room for the Saturday's evening Bhajans, in Pahoa, Hawaii.

It is a great place to go and relax, while the local Krishna-Bhakatas lead the sweet bhajans for Radha-Krishna. As usual, here the bhajan session is followed by a lecture -maybe 30min- and delicious vegetarian preps are served free. The program starts from 6:00 to 8:00pm.

Below is Johnny Cat, worshiping Tulasi Devi, who is considered by the Vaishnavas (followers of the Hindu God; Vishnu) a holy tree, from which is believed that the worshiper derives strength and devotion to the almighty God Vishnu.
