Myself with Baladeva the bull a few months ago, who passed away this week.

Today's darshana of Sri Panchamukha Hanuman at our ashram in Chennai.

He replied, "That would be nice, but if we do that, then we cannot have lotuses to offer to our deities. Which will be better for the ashram?" He thought for a moment and then said, "I think we should keep the lotuses to offer to the deities. Lotuses need mud to grow well, so we will let the mud remain in the pond even if it is not good for bathing. It is more important for us to have lotuses to offer to the Lord."

Abhishekam to Nandi at Tiruvannamalai on Pradosham

Last year in January we took in some street puppies who along with their mother were infected with mange. After treating them, it wasn't possible to release them back in the street as other gangs of dogs did not accept them. As a result they continue to live with us, and here is how they look 1.5 years later.

An update on Shambhu the street bull who showed up at our temple injured with a torn ear around 5 days ago. We have since been treating the wound for the last five days, and here is a video showing how he is now.

Once inside we washed the blood away and put some antiseptic spray on the wound, then gave some food for Shambhu to eat.

Divine Evening Aarti at Bhadrakali Temple, Warangal

Sri Kala Bhairava at Thiruvannamalai.

This is the second egret bird that has been killed by dogs in our area this month. These birds have been coming for years to eat the insects off of our bulls, but now it has become very dangerous for them. We were able to pull him out of the mouth of the dogs, but his wounds were very severe, so we gave him charanmrita and put him in a peaceful area to hear maha mantra as he left his body. By evening he had passed away.
