Nothing Today
We are looking at above freezing
weather. Rain is very persistent, not
coming down in buckets, but it is very clearly contributing to the regeneration
of natural things. It’s a system of cycles. We were here before, experiencing spring
rain, and we will encounter it again through seasonal wonders.
Today was one of those unfortunate days for
me, having not moseyed for even a kilometre.
Weather was being somewhat of a deterrent. I did pace a piece indoors, the only claim to
keeping up a reputation of sorts as a walker.
I took a ride to Rupanuga’s place, and
there, with his daughter Radha Bhakti and her hubby, Hari Prasad, we were set
to talk about controversial topics.
These topics revolved around same-sex relationships and marriages—to
include a discussion on the position of women, as well as the status of people
of different skin colours. Juicy stuff!
Just what is the Krishna Conscious standpoint
on these subject matters?
It’s too bad that we actually never got to
the topics as we set out to. Time was
restrictive and an ekadashi (grainless)
meal occupied minutes. “Keep topics
light over eating” is the habit of those in Vaishnava traditions.
So there will be some quality time set aside
for important katha (dialogue) in the
future, since no official statements have been made by our leaders on these
matters.
It’s important.
May the Source be with you!
