Namaste!

Welcome to Kauai's Hindu Monastery's official YouTube channel! We share here a little about us:

Our Global Mission
Kauai's Hindu Monastery is a 458-acre monastery and temple complex on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. It is the headquarters of Saiva Siddhanta Church, the first Hindu Church in America. Saiva Siddhanta Church is a progressive institution vowed to uphold its spiritual heritage, derived from the Tamil Saivite Hindu traditions of South India and northern Sri Lanka. It is under the spiritual direction of Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, successor to the Church's founder, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (Gurudeva). We follow the monistic Saiva Siddhanta philosophy, urging members and other devotees to "Know thy Self" through self-inquiry, meditation, traditional temple worship, scriptural study, guru bhakti and selfless service. We strive to bring members, devout shishyas of the guru lineage, into a pure, ethical life and guide them toward enlightenment and a direct consciousness of the Divine within.

International Family Congregation
The membership of Saiva Siddhanta Church extends to many countries of the world, including the USA, Canada, Mauritius, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka and several European nations. Hundreds of thousands of individuals participate in our teachings through lessons, literature, study courses, travel-study programs and youth retreats. Several thousand actively pursue the spiritual path under our guidance.

Over the last half-century, our Church has created a swami order and a theological seminary to train young men from many nations and mold them into religious leaders. We have nurtured an extended family membership that upholds and sets new standards of personal dedication, inner effort, home culture and public protocol in these contemporary times when the diaspora of Hindus has brought them to nearly all countries of the world. Our ten primary objectives can be found at our website.

Saiva Siddhanta Church has become a leader among Hindu institutions, and its headquarters, Kauai's Hindu Monastery, with its Kadavul and Iraivan temples, is a major pilgrimage place for Hindus in the West. There are many ways you can contribute.
