Saturday January 19/08 - Port Royal Pennsylvania
The morning message was based on a verse from Canto 5 of the book, Bhagavatam when renounciant king by the name Bharat fell overly affectionate for a lost fawn. He went so far as to say that the earth is blessed because of the deer’s dainty hoofprints etched on it’s soft surface. You could call it a situation of love sickness.
We all have our moments of extremities and they do lead to trouble. That’s why the safest path to tread is the middle gorund, the path of balance, caution- the path of goodness, satva guna.
The residents at the rural community, Gita nagari, were highly attentive to the message of the verse, thrust towards goodness and the satva guna way of living. The resident peacocks outside the temple confirmed it with their cooing.
The balance of my time there was spent in passion. We had pre arranged some drama practice with the local youth and the piece was called “Canto 10”. There was no time to complete practice sufficiently as there was (don’t know the word) no time to walk.
I’m a little worried I’ll put on extra pounds.
