Kadavul Temple
The Kadavul Temple is a Hindu temple located on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, USA. The temple is part of a larger Kauai Aadheenam Monastery, also known as the Kauai Hindu Monastry.
The temple is dedicated to Shiva, in his form Natarja. [1]
History
Kadavul Temple was established by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, a Hindu monk who was born in the United States. He was a former ballet dancer before being initiated into Shaivism by Guru Yogaswami in Sri Lanka. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami established the temple on Kauai in 1973 after he was instructed by Guru Yogaswami to build a "bridge between the East and West." The land for the temple was originally known to Native Hawaiians as Pilanakalani, also know on as the "the fullness of heaven." [1][2][3]
Description
