Hinduism Dictionary on San Marga Sanctuary San Marga Sanctuary: A meditation tirtha at the foot of the extinct volcano, Mount Waialeale, on Hawaii's Garden Island, Kauai. Here pilgrims follow the H-mile path, San Marga, to a natural Sivalinga, walk the path of the Tamil Nayanars around picturesque lotus lakes and ponds and visit the six shrines of the Kailasa Parampara on the banks of Saravanabhava Lake in Rishi Valley. Paths lead visitors to the sacred Wailua River, then up stone stairs to the Chola-style white-granite Iraivan Temple, hand-carved in Bangalore, India. In the sanctum sanctorum, the Supreme God, Siva (Parameshvara-Parashakti-Parasiva), will be enshrined as a massive 700-pound, single-pointed earthkeeper quartz crystal. San Marga Sanctuary, founded in 1970, is among many public services of Saiva Siddhanta Church, one of America's senior Hindu religious institutions. See: Subramuniyaswami, tirtha.

Oceanography Dictionary - Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary Definition and meaning of Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary: Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary - Gray's Reef comprises one of the largest nearshore sandstone reefs in the southeastern United States.It is located 32 kilometers (17.5 nautical miles) off Sapelo Island, Georgia. Designated in 1981, the Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary boundaries protect 17 square miles of open ocean. Sandstone outcroppings and ledges up to ten feet in height separate the sandy, flat-bottomed troughs in a reef that combines temperate and tropical flora and fauna. The rocky platform, some 60 to 70 feet below the surface, is covered by a carpet of attached organisms and is known locally as a "live bottom habitat." Gray's reef is not a coral reef. It is a consolidation of marine and terrestrial sediments (sand, shell, and mud) which was laid down as loose aggregate between 6 and 2 million years ago (Source: US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ) Also see these pages: Oceanography, Oceanography Sitemap, Coral Reef, Environment, Sustainability, Climate Change,
