At the exit of the temple...
Local custom is to purchase and free birds after leaving the temple. The birds were in cages and very hot. As soon as Kaliji, Ekaterina, Matanga and Nandi saw the birds outside of the Thien Hau Temple they purchased and freed them all, more than 500 total, on Thanksgiving Day.

In 2017, when Kaliji was in Taiwan for Sri Swamiji’s Nada Gita Raga Sagara concert in Taipei, Mingzhi (on right) met Kaliji on a train: he felt drawn to her energy and told Kaliji that he had been looking for a yoga teacher for his wife, Juanjuan. Since that meeting, Juanjuan has studied TriYoga (certified in Basics in 2018), and Mingzhi and JuanJuan always come to the airport to greet Kaliji.
