Havana, Cuba
Private space sizeable enough to accommodate thirty or so people for an ND Method lesson was a bit of a challenge to find for Yoel, but he did it. NDM or Nine Devotional Methods was the planned presentation for me to make. A new Age woman in the Havana community had the perfect spot for us near the tourist centre area, a quaint, but adequate courtyard. Healers, massage therapists, yoga practitioners and other alternative life seekers attended.
As in other locations the two hour session response was overwhelming. They were enthusiastic for dos partes. (Part two). So I’ll have to structure something as a follow up. A sequel will be something to thirst over thanks to the great Puranic saint Prahlad. At age five the young boy nailed down 9 principals to adapt to for acquiring inner strength.
Walking to and from this pleasant courtyard meant passing through neighbourhoods both rich and poor. Such dualities exists everywhere. Frankly in my opinion if ever a consumer/ capitalist system was introduced into Cuba it would toss the rico and pobre communities a greater distance apart. It would have a negative impact. I do admire a place where the government offers everyone free medical and educational services, where pornography is prohibited and television is more educational and commercial free. Above all people are approachable here. It’s easy to make friends.
One milestone to share is that three Cubans formally made vows to accept a guru, abstain form meat, intoxicants, gambling and to honour strong family values. It might be a first for this country which is so inclined toward spirituality.
