Saiva Siddhanta Church is a spiritual institution dedicated to protect, preserve and promote the Saivite Hindu religion. It is based on the precepts of the Nandinatha Sampradaya, and led by Gurus from the two thousand year-old lineage of the Kailasa Parampara.
The Church was founded in 1949 by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, a traditional hindu leader, who urges devotees to "Know thy Self" through self-inquiry, meditation, traditional temple worship, scriptural study and selfless service. The name of the Church is from the Sanskrit language and could be roughly rendered in English as "The Church of God Siva's Revealed Truth."
Kauai Aadheenam, also known as Kauai's Hindu Monastery, located on the Garden Island of Kauai in Hawaii, is the headquarters of Saiva Siddhanta Church.
