Three of Us
Drona, Raphaldo and I waited till the
sun’s intensity would subside before embarking on a trek towards the home of
tonight’s sanga. It was 5:20pm when
conditions were okay and we moved westerly towards the end of the highway.
For most of our 1 and a half-hour walking
we were a few meters shy of the sea-wall. Breezes were truly pleasant. The sun’s descent seemed rapid. It is remarkable being witness to the good
work of Krishna devotees in Guyana Krishnas . They address us with a “Haribol!” They see us distributing Krishna
food called prasadam. They see us
performing kirtan in the streets and hear that sacred sound at home engagements
as the vibrations leak out through the windows.
Generally we present ourselves in the face of the public as a happy
bunch.
On our way to the sanga motorists looked
while homeowners and shoppers waved and shouted HARIBOL! This is all a result of the determination
executed practically, through the above mentioned avenues. Finally when we reached the sanga destination
I was given a chair and a verse from the Bhagavad-gita to speak from, 2:41 “Those
who are on this path are resolute in purpose and their aim is one. O beloved child of the Kurus the intelligence
of those who are irresolute is many branched.”
May the Source be with you!
