4. SOUNDBITE (English) Sannyasin Tillainathaswami, monk at Kauai’s Hindu Temple:
"People often describe it as a peace or kind of a joy or a sort of a divine essence. And it seems to be generated not only by the nature here, the land, the location, the peaceful, beautiful island, but also by the temples and the monastic community here."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Paramacharya Sadasivanatha Palaniswami, Kauai's Hindu Monastery:
"And we had challenges of finding the skills in India to do this work by hand, because one of the demands of our guru was that this temple should not be built with modern tools, but should be built with the skillset of sculptors a thousand years ago. And that's how it was, in fact, put together."

14. Various of sculptures on Iraivan Temple
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Paramacharya Sadasivanatha Palaniswami, Kauai's Hindu Monastery:
"But now it exists, and it's like a pilgrimage place the way we look at it, because there's not that many Hindus in this community."

16. Pravinkumar Vasudeva, priest of Iraivan Temple, chanting

18. SOUNDBITE (Tamil) Pravinkumar Vasudeva, temple priest:
"In India, you could build something like this, but it has not been done. Here, it's nearly impossible to build it, but it has been done, against all odds. This is an amazing thing."

19. Mid of Vasudeva chanting

20. SOUNDBITE (English) Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, Kauai's Hindu Monastery:
"The Hindu temple is devoted to God, whom this denomination of Hindus calls Shiva. So, that's the basic idea... what I like to say is all Hindus believe in a supreme being. We just don't agree on the name or the nature."
