Good Soul B.P.
Toronto, Ontario
The most significant aspect of today was a phone call conversation with godsister, Bhadra Priya. Suffering from and advanced form of cancer she is finding it rather tough to cope right now. Her health is deteriorating very quickly and she had recently shifted residence from Toronto to Alachua, Florida where she is receiving special care. She needs a lot of encouragement. Prayer is also helpful.
She is a very gentle soul who is a first generation pioneer person for spreading Krishna Consciousness in Canada and the U.S. Like many of us in the late sixties and early seventies she was looking hard for a purpose and a people to devote to. She found a happy group of students of the Bhagavad-gita living communally, ladies on the second floor and men on the third floor in a house at 187 Gerrard St. of what’s called Toronto’s Cabbagetown. She moved into this house-made-temple not long before I did. She was a great helper and also took many excellent photos of the presiding Krishna deities. In the fall of 1973 she and I had our first initiation ceremony presided over by our Brahmana priest Sri Pati who hailed from the U.K.
Circumstances had it that she left the mission for a while and she feels terrible about that but she’s back and has been keeping the company of her dear godsisters. The main thing I emphasized to her over the phone is that she is blessed with great association like friend Nirmal and she has the pure sound of sabdha brahman as her shelter.
Readers here may not have met her. Please mark my word she is a great and gentle soul. Please chant for her strength to cope and give her hope with your good wishes.
