Bon Accueil, Mauritius
Bliss Business
Feedback on the performances of the “Shakti
Show,” was all positive. Last night the
audience of vaishnavas and newcomers was delighted by a magic show, tabla drum
performers, a kirtan group and our drama of “Mr. Puri.” It seems that events like this—events of a
more social and cultural nature—haven’t been very much encouraged on this
remote island of Mauritius. There are
many devotional activities in motion and with 40% of the population being Hindu
you can expect a lot of poojas and such.
Now, kirtan is more
emphasized, but entertainment…?
At least one person expressed this concern
and offered his opinion on it.
Besides going through a day of contentment
with appreciation being expressed all around, our group of four—Balaram, Kala, Bishma
and myself—the members of cast and crew for “Mr Puri,” were busy. It was a marathon of sweetness for me
delivering four lessons on bhakti. One of these lessons was a more casual talk
with members of Pandava Sen and Young
Warriors of Krishna Balarama. The topic
was to do with the interaction of the generation before them, and how to forge
ahead with projects of a devotional nature and not get discouraged.
It was also natural for me to pose the
scenario that this group of young talent would indeed succeed in administrative
responsibilities for the ISKCON movement for the future.
Indeed our team of four were busy, but we
decided to dip in the ocean’s calm waters at 11:00 p.m. after a much needed
walk along a sandy trail.
May the Source be with you!
