Noida, India
Spiritual
Culture
I read with interest Devaki Devi Dasi’s
book, Spiritual Culture, just
recently released. I find her insights
into the psychology of the male and female interesting. I can’t say that I agree with all of her
points but I can appreciate her old values /old school approach. She supports the very definitive roles for
men and women, and although her opinions strike me as somewhat right-wing, I
would back her on family values.
Family values! Great topic!
After our drama practice—in now out latest
and last stop before the flight home—a group of us were compelled to speak
about relationships between the ‘hes’ and ‘shes’. There are definitely many opinions out there
about family life, as to what’s ideal and what’s practical, even from the
sector of bhakti yogis.
“You now have a generation of Krishna
children that don’t go for marriage,” expressed a father of four. He and his wife are on the same page when it
comes to commitment. The couple went on
to say that the experience of his family, and all the younger folks
accompanying us on our short tour, is that they are having the time of their
life.
It was late afternoon before I could free
myself of duties and practice in the ISKCON Noida theatre, where a number of
adjustments had to be made to address acoustic issues. Bulgarian born Stoyan and I took to a quiet
trail in Noida behind the gorgeous temple.
That’s hard to find, but we found it.
May the Source be with you!
