It’s Who You Know
The
acclaimed “Hare Krishna” film documentary is playing at the Cineplex downtown
but I’m going to miss it. I had the
pleasure of seeing it in Nevada City this last summer. The other reason for not viewing this
masterpiece this evening is that I have to catch my flight, Air Canada Flight
42 to Delhi and beyond. I’m on my way to
holy destinations. To be more precise,
it’s Mayapura that I’m going to. This is
the birthplace of monk, Sri Chaitanya, the king of kirtan.
Laksman
drove me to Pearson Airport to assist with extra luggage—costumes and props for
our production “Many Mothers, Many Fathers.”
The personnel at the check-in said, “You’re over-weight. You’ll have to transfer some content to the
lighter bag (a duffle bag, in fact).
Laksman and I proceeded to go and do that transfer. They have a weigh
scale facility and counters for adjusting your baggage. An employee came over,
a familiar face—someone I had met at the airport before.
“Never
mind this. You don’t have to deal with this nonsense. Here, I’ll check you in. You’re
‘The Walking Monk’, aren’t you? I’ve read your blog,” said the accommodating
lady. She continued, “You travel a lot, don’t you? I’ve seen you around. Hare
Krishna!”
Naturally,
I was elated by this, and I would have been even more exploding with joy had
she said, “You travel a lot…I’ve seen you walking.”
Anyway,
good enough!
May
the Source be with you!
