Preparing for dozens of Temples🔗

Swamiji has started creating deities for various upcoming temples that were going to happen all over the world. Those of you who know Swamiji know that he does not do anything in a sequential manner. He expects and makes explonential growth to happen – all at once! Preparations started on a grand scale to start carving various deities for temples across the world. Swamiji went and personally inspected the wax mold of the 8 ft Anandeshwara and Anandeshwari. Pouring molten five-metal for a deity this size in a single step was never done before. Stapathis (metal statue artisans) were quite concerned about how a single five metal piece would form in one step. With the master's grace this happened effortlessly. Once the deity was completed, a tour of the deity all across South Hindu states commenced. Swamiji called it koti kannu yatra indicating people would have the darshan of Anandeshwara and Anandeshwari before the idol is installed in the Bidadi temples. In order to meet the deities Swamiji wanted to be carved immediately we had also to lease carving centers in Mahabalipuram, started our own centers in Bidadi and Rasipuram and leased a hill famous for granite specifically used for making deities. Swamiji does everything in a grand scale!
