Ujjain, India

Happy Rain…

Happy rain has been falling from the sky.  It’s a cleanser, no doubt. Walking is somewhat restricted to pacing my room—room 112 in the guest house. I’ve been good, attending meetings, and on time. Our body of leaders, approximately thirty-five to forty, are mainly discussing more effective and efficient ways to manage and make good decisions.

Ujjain is that place where five millennia ago, Sri Krishna took His education as a boy. I’ve been meditating on what I am learning at the meetings. The information is valuable. There’s good stuff here—a bit of an overload. I’m now 65; most of my comrades are 70 or approaching. Because I’m human, I am retaining not all of what’s being said or being handed out to me as take-home material.

I’m learning pastimes for sure.

I’ve been sitting under an AC unit, directly. Everyone else is stuffy in our conference room.

Both in the morning and evening, I’ve been asked to lead kirtan. Taking a hold of the microphone and moving from my lips to my legs offers me a break from the sitting routine.

My assistant is a native of Bengal—Suta Goswami Das. He is someone to be proud of. He really is helpful and I’m thinking to get him to come to Canada with me. We could use someone like him to not only assist me but to spend time in cultivating the spiritual lives of immigrants of Indian origin, along with being an inspiration to young locals. May it come to pass.

May the Source be with you!
