Burnaby, British Columbia
Good
Saturday
I’m amazed with what a quiet, tiny little
lady from Mauritius can do. Nishta is
that wonderful person I’m speaking about.
Within practically twenty-four hours, she drew a crowd of people on a
Saturday, when most folks have their parties and programs set. To cause
everyone to readjust venues and events after listening to an enticing voice
like Nishta’s, was an extraordinary feat, but she did it.
Her living room was going to be the place
for a sanga, but as interest grew her
modest quarters were not able to hold the capacity crowd. With the local temple across the street, she
shifted gathering places.
Now I was to be the honoured guest,
Bhaktimarga Swami, also known as the ‘Walking
Monk’. I was introduced as such and to a hefty crowd of young children, all the
way up to mature adults. The challenge
is to keep the whole cross-section of people happy.
My strategy in such circumstances is to
keep the kids charged up, and then you will win the hearts of all. The reading and charades of the “Killing of
Dhenukasura” were a triumph. Then I
opened up the floor for a Q & A that went very well. More adults participated in this. Questions were superb and relevant, keeping
in the context of spiritual growth.
By bedtime I was happily fatigued when Manu
and Rene both took a crack at my legs, massaging with as best an effort as
possible. I’ve been limping, remember?
May the Source be with you!
