Coming very soon, is this new book by Swamiji. This text is designed to help prepare students for doing a spiritual practice and working with a teacher. We expect to release several more of Swamiji's books by the end of the year.

We will be launching a new website soon as well, with a clearly laid out path for students seeking spiritual initiation. The new website will provide many opportunities for students to dive deeper into their practice and to get involved with the work we are doing.

Please consider donating, or registering for a class, or requesting services through our website www.somamatha.org

The center and Temple are currently closed to the public until we can address dangerous issues with the building.

It has been more than three months since the murtis were delivered. The 1,000 pound plus avudaiyar (yoni) is still sitting in the driveway. We are still raising money to cover shipping cost and to hire movers to help move the avudaiyar inside. Please sponsor our pradosham Rudra abhishekam for Shiva on Sunday to help us reunite the massive yoni with the banam lingam. https://www.somamatha.org/pradosham-rudra-abhishekam.html
