Mayapura, India
I share a small room with two other
people 20 and 35 years my junior. We get along.
We are working together on the drama project, so there some commonality
there. One of the follows is
married. The other is hoping to be. We even tolerate each others snoring.
Mayapura is full with pilgrims. We share a room not necessarily out of
choice. Its OK! As I said, I get along
with my company, at least during our sleeping and shower time.
When its breakfast and lunch I meet with
the other pilgrims who come from all over the world: China, South America, UK,
Germany, USA, Canada, Austrailia, Bali, Thailand, etc. I minimize time on eating and go from table
to table to meet everyone, in fact I can't get around to everyone. There are eight hundred people sitting and
enjoying the meal. The luncheon room at
the ISKCON Leaders Sanga, ILS, is just huge.
My reason average one minute of time per table is greeting.
This 'greeting' is a segue into the
seminar I attended on the world famous Krishna Love Feast. The reason for this seminar was to step-up
the quality presentation at these feast that have attracted people for decades.
One of the main thrusts towards improving
the Sunday Krishna Love Feast is in the warm greetings. In some places the program tends to be lagging
behind, to that we might celebrate the phrase, "if you are looking for a
breakthrough, try breaking your routine!"
Its all about people, isn't it? And India if full of them, one billion. Things can be tight in a country full of
people. Its a great place to learn
tolerance.
May the Source be with you!
