Showers on the Day
Danudhar Swami and I haven’t met in years but he heard about
my anticipated walk retracing the steps of our guru, Srila Prabhupada,
50 years ago. He wished me well. He asked me what shoes I preferred to wear on
my pilgrimages. I told him I like to wear air, meaning that I use footwear that
allows you to breathe. In the midst of the crowd that came for the celebrations
of the Krishna deity installation, I also met
an elderly female devotee who walks with a cane. She does so very meticulously
and slowly. She deliberately takes those regular strolls being inspired by the
walking I’ve done. “I read about you doing those long walks and it always
encourages me.”
Now that was great to hear.
It was early while I was bound for the temple complex where
much chanting went on and multiple rituals were in progress, executed both by
old friends and members of our second generation Hare Krishna community. I had
trekked along North Randolphville to Williams Street New Market Road Vail Street West 7th
Street
And then back.
After a full day of spiritual output, I traced back the
steps from the early morning. It was only on my return trip that I spotted the
toy train shop which looks like many of the other buildings but is obscured
from the night darkness.
I also have to say something about the performance of our
drama, Blue Mystic. Our actors pulled off a good show. Co-operative activity
makes all things happen. It was hard labour piecing it together, therefore, it
was a good reason for the wind down walk in the night time.
Blessings were showered on the day by the mercy of guru.
May the Source be with you!
