Sat. May 24/08 - Malton, Ontario
This morning I initiated a 24 hour chanting session at the Bharat Sevashram Centre. It was the 16th annual event which brings together many devotees, the majority of who are Bengalis. It is remarkable how enthusiastic they respond. This program was fist brainstormed by Raj Sarangi, a native of Orissa, India. He was always an optimistic man and recently built a temple for Jagannatha the Lord of the Universe, in his home town of Nagespura, Orissa.
This evening brought me to a baby shower. Such an event is traditionally an exclusive girl's event but the tradition has been broken by host Praharna Mataji who was instrumental in bringing in the boys for this normally gender specific program. Monks were also allowed which is where I fit in.
The evening included charades which was targeted toward the pastimes of Krishna. Recently I looked at a small book with photos on " Nuns Having Fun" and perhaps in the future a sequel could be dedicated to monks.
God has pleasure and I suppose those of us who try to represent Him in some way can also have a whale of a time!
