This is the island where Swami Vivekanda swam to to meditate after the death of his guru. He was famous for bring Hinduism to the Parliment of Religions in Chicago in 1893. His teachings are profound. "The power of the whole ocean is behind a single wave."
This place is a very holy place. The convergence of three waters, the significance of the philosophies, a place of pilgramage for thousands of people. The wind was blowing hard, the sun shining...the statue on the right is Thiruvallur. He is a Tamil poet and philosopher. It's a divine place full of love. I soaked it all in.
The carvings were striking and different than anything we've seen so far. Lots of waves and elephants, and lotus flowers, all in black and white. Inside the building was a dark meditation room...also a statue of Vivekanda. There was a beautiful butterfly that had taken refuge from the intense wind inside the memorial room.

soak up all of that beauty.. can't believe the sites. looks like you are having good weather as well.. love you, gram
Oh my gosh-these photos are just amazing....everything had so much color and life! It's been so nice to view your photos and get a glimpse of what your journey has been so far. Jack sends his love to you-he misses you. He is the cat that I always wanted so I am thrilled and Will has really taken to him... It's so strange that you are so far away because I feel like you are here in this house. I didn't think you could be in two places at once but I think you can...We miss you guys! Take care!
