Entering the inner gate we come to the central temple with many statues of Hindu gods and deities. Brahma (The Creator), Vishnu (The Maintainer), and Shiva (The Destroyer) represent these faces of God and the natural forces of change on the creation. The creation is in constant change.
     My favorite is Genisha the deity with the elephant head. In this statue his mudra seems to be telling me to try and hang loose. Good advice for me and my crazy busy howley world.
