Ste. Mathieu du Parc, Quebec
Friday, What a Day!
A small group of us tread the narrow roads of the complex of The Art of Living. It is a time when healing plants are out in bloom—the burdock, jewel weed, willow, cattails, milkweed, and goldenrod. I see hemlock. Watch out for that one and don’t mistake it for wild carrot. Hemlock is poison. Wild carrot offers nutrition.
We also checked out Lac Gareau. No motorized devices are allowed on this placid lake. I had the greatest swim. Walking and swimming. What a combo! It’s the best with the best.
Overlooking the lake is the Meditation Hall. Looks exotic with an oriental touch. Inside I went, after the walk, to do a kid’s presentation for the 5-10 age bracket. Fun! Engaging!
I rushed to the main building for Part 2 of the Kirtan Standards Seminar. Here the adults received, or rather, created fun. I put out some dance steps, they followed.
I then visited Cid Hunter (Siddhanta) in Chalet #3 for a camera interview detailing my recollections of times and memories of Prabhupada, our guru. Cid was pleased.
The final event for the day was a second sit-down with Sruta Kirti, the personal assistant to Prabhupada. He was conveying to his seminar group some lessons he learned about guru with regard to humility, and also anger as a utility. Usually, but rarely, it was used to correct someone.
This last seminar was precious at the Vaishnava Sangha 2018.
May the Source be with you!
