Mayapur,
West Bengal
Mayapur Fullness
Young
Sukhie (Sukadeva), age nineteen, from South Africa, has also arrived. He and I took to the part brick/part dirt
road to the region of the two queens. By
that, I mean the two elephants, Vishnupriya and Laksmipriya. They appear to be both now fully grown. It was Sukhie and I who could see them
through the trees, even though it was early dawn.
They
are very passive in their setting. What
is calm in the holy dham? Any place away
from motorized conveyances.
I was
invited to speak to the older boys in the school, SMIS. They delighted in hearing of my road
adventures: the bear encounters, people, the elements, the police, and
mosquitoes. The idea is to bring to the
minds of these young men, a sense of a bigger world, a world to explore and to
contribute to. I have always felt
travelling can provide the greater part of education.
I
admire them, these eleven to sixteen year olds, who are learning in such a
sacred environment, out in the country with its God-centric spirit all
around. It’s a great privilege.
Also,
everything is kept so clean on the campus.
The grounds are well-maintained.
There are issues, however, of pop music blaring out from loud speakers
into the wee hours of the morning from the village nearby. That’s a tough item to sort out; at least
hard to enforce so far as policies are concerned.
I
enjoyed lunch with the couple Kala and Yashomati. Over a meal of good food, all great relations
are cultivated.
May
the Source be with you!
