SAINTS AND SAMADHIS

I came across a beautiful blog by Edwin and Litsa van Ouwerkerk which carries information and photos of saints and their samadhis. They have traveled extensively and posted all these wonderful pictures and news relating to swamis and gurus including the Jeeva samadhis of Siddhas. They have visited Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal at Kallar too. Heres Edwin's blog http://soonyata.home.xs4all.nl/sathuragiri.htm

Click on the link http://soonyata.home.xs4all.nl/jeevasamadhi.htm to view a very comprehensive compilation of Sidha Samadhis. Edwin has done great service through his painstaking effort in traveling the extra mile and documenting this information and photos for progeny.

I have included some more samadhis and ashrams of gurus too.
