    Himalayan academy sells a DVD that talks about these temples.

    This monastery also publishes the 'Hinduism Today' magazine. They are good at generating fascinating media content.

    Vijay and others might enjoy reading (or re-reading) them.
  • Dear Intellisurfer,
    Lots of RKN fans out there, even me, far across the pond.
    Most older American heavy readers have read him.

    About Kauai Temple,
    I have a life-time subscription to their magazine, but they
    don't do much w smaller, less-known temples.
    Had good article on Chidambaram and Tiruvannamalai
    in years past. Lots on Hinduism around the world,
    some Saiva slant.
    Visited their temple on Kauai a few years back. Very
    lovely, So. Indian Saiva {Vijayanagara?} style,
    tucked away against the hills. They've been
    working on it for many years. Very peaceful place
    but I worried that only wealthy people will be able
    to afford to go to Hawaii to visit it.
