In All You Do
The Unitarian Church just off of the Assiniboine River became the venue for our evening devotional show. It’s an impressive place. Limestone blocks give it that stately look. Roger, a member of the church, and our ‘on-site man’, was there to assist us in our preparation. He is just the right kind of guy for the job.
I see the devotion, bhakti, in him. I don’t believe that one group of spiritualists, even our own Krishna movement, has a monopoly on it. I will say that these common ground feelings run through my veins being in the presence of Roger and in such a sacred space.
When we say, “Krishna is everywhere”, just as someone might say, “Brahman is everywhere,” “God is everywhere,” “Divinity is everywhere,” what really is the difference in terms of perception?
Preparation for the evening program all culminated in a great show with an appreciative audience. The space and acoustics were great, as was the layout of the building’s interior.
Some temples I visit are cluttered with mismatched furniture and paraphernalia. This place was tastefully done with its placement of things. Perhaps the attendees felt the space to be cared for and that was one of the reasons for the joy they felt this evening.
Devotion can be applied in all facets of life. It is not limited to how you execute some rituals, or how you put out your mantra. It is an implementation in all you do. Check 9.27 from the Bhagavad Gita.
May the Source be with you!
