Mayapura, West Bengal
Walking
the Celebratory Path
She walked to the temple. Then she walked to the samadhi, and then she flew off in a helicopter, just as she had
when she arrived. The road was decorated
just for her, painted in white swirls against the grey asphalt.
Bengal’s leader, Mamata Banerjee, is Chief
Minister for the state, and she came to visit Mayapura. Dozens of police placed themselves in posts
to guide and direct the crowds, some of whom were chanting and greeting
parties.
“She is short and she moves fast,” said one
devotee regarding her walking to the two buildings. She went before the deities of Krishna and
offered her pranams. She was also introduced to Ambarish, Henry
Ford’s great-grandson, and encouraged him to open a car manufacturing plant in
the area. (No comment). After her
milestone visit, she sent a message indicating that Mayapura will be a major
tourist attraction in India.
Her visit was short and sweet, and I am
projecting that she’ll be back on the trail and including a walk up the steps
to the up-and-coming TOVP, The Temple of the Vedic Planetarium.
2022 is the year of the construction’s
completion. That is the vow made by
Ambarish, chairman of the project, and his team.
Every year more and more pilgrims are walking
these trails. Numbers are
increasing. Spirituality is on the rise.
May the Source be with you!
