0pt">Each Saivite is unique in his or her quest, yet all seek the same things in

life: to be happy and secure, loved and appreciated, creative and useful.

Saivism has an established culture which fulfills these essential human wants

and helps us understand the world and our place in it. To all devotees it gives

guidance in the qualities of character so necessary in spiritual life: patience,

compassion, broadmindedness, humility, industriousness and devotion.

and its power. Family life is strong and precious. Saivism possesses a wealth

of art and architecture, traditions of music, art, drama and dance, and a

treasury of philosophy and scholarship. Saivite temples provide worship

services daily. Scriptures give ethical guidelines. Satgurus

offer advanced spiritual initiation. These three--temples, scriptures and

satgurus—are our pillars of faith. The Vedas implore, "O learned people, may

we with our ears listen to what is beneficial, may we see with our eyes what is

beneficial. May we, engaged in your praises, enjoy with firm limbs and sound

bodies, a full term of life dedicated to God." Aum Namah Sivaya.

------- Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami Sivaya Namah
