Shiva-SHAKTI -- South AFRICA

South Africa

Actonville

The Shiva Shakti sculpture stands not only as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Tamil community in Actonville but also a beacon of spiritual and communal unity. 

It’s unveiling on March 9th, 2013, marked a significant moment in the history of the Sivan-Alayam temple, reflecting the vibrant tapestry of traditions that's flourishing in this corner of the African continent. 

The sculpture embodies the essence of Sanathan Dharma, radiating the wisdom and love of Hindu philosophy to all who gaze upon it. It is a celebration of heritage, a symbol of the enduring spirit of the forefathers, and a source of inspiration for future generations to continue embracing their identity with pride and joy. 

The Benoni Tamil School Board's dedication to this project has indeed inscribed a lasting legacy, proving that from small seeds of intention, great trees of accomplishment can grow.

My birthplace Actonville scarcely did I contemplate such an awe-inspiring addition to its skyline.

Congratulations.

A copy and paste Presentation from my Inbox.

Steve Jobs revolutionized the world with Apple Computers and e-based communication.
Did you know the following facts about Mr.S. Jobs.

He used to "walk 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna Hindu Temple ".

He said in his Stanford University lecture " You have to trust in your gut, destiny, life and Karma." He was a staunch believer of karma yoga.

He visited many Ashrams in Rishikesh particularly Neem Karoli Baba ashram , a devotee of Hanuman. After visiting first time he returned from India to US with a shaved head and in traditional Indian robes.
