Curb Apparent Evil
Vancouver, British Columbia
A frost spread itself over the ground's surface leaving a white sparkle effect on grass and road. I did hear a coyote yelp. It was the time of Brahma Muhurta, the moment before dawn, when I took to trails under the Skytrain and elsewhere. The environment spelled out 'ominous' until I interacted with humans. The morning rolled out a series of upheavals.
It began with meeting Raghunatha, who had been jumped upon and attacked by a half crazed drunk person. Raghunatha had just returned from the hospital when the incident happened after last evening's amazing time of chanting. From here on on the hour, concerns and reports came to me of inauspicious goings on. It appeared to be full moon reactions so I could surmise. One of our courageous women in the community here responded to hearing of the multiple mishaps to individuals by saying 'kirtan!'. She was implying that loud and hard chanting, the kind that penetrates through the walls of madness, will bring some resolve and peace. I did not follow the news to the world events today for sure, as far as individuals were concerned I sensed a heap of mind snapping occurrences, which were all too coincidental to be true. According to the Vedas, the moon does have incredible impact on the mind and therefore it is a time when it's at its fullest for us to hold tight on to the mantra, literally, means mind's subduer.
A small group of us stormed the downtown at the Robson and Granville area of trumpet and drum and melodic voices. Hey, the sun shone, and people smiled to the cheerful sound.
