Greetings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

[Guest guest]

Namaste Munis,

 

Nice to see a member from Malaysia!! Warmest welcome to you and

very glad that you like our little cyber rudraksha family

 

Wonderful to hear about your project with children's books, good on

you! In full resonance with Sri DDji in regards contacting the

illustrator who did the artworks for Satguru Subramuniyaswami's

books.

 

If you type in the search engine the words: Satguru

Subramuniyaswami, Himalayan Academy, Iraivan Temple, Dancing With

Shiva, Merging With Shiva and Hinduism Today, you will find many

links to their website. Enquiries can be sent by email from there.

 

May Lord Ganapati bestow you with every success in all endeavours!

 

Om Namah Shivaya

Simone
