Scarborough / Toronto

Two Sides

I was impressed with the Vedic Roots Montessori School on Tuxedo Court.  This pre-school facility began four years ago and has enjoyed a growth since its humble beginnings.  What a terrific staff.  The school also provides Ayurvedicmeals cooked on the spot.  They are all heroes—the initiators in particular are Radha-Mohan and Shyama Mohini, with the principle (very professional) someone by the name of Gita. I'm sure our guru, Srila Prabhupada, is very pleased with this high standard quality of education from those persons who have a positive influence on human civilization.

Yes, education and culture are such an important element in society.  When I made my japawalk along Yonge, which is transforming every day due to construction, the not-so-refined were out south of Bloor.  I had some exchanges later in the evening.

To a young couple who looked fairly sober I said, “Good morning!”  They laughed because it was morning—2:00 a.m.

To a homeless person who said, “I need a hot dog.”  I replied. “I don’t have any.”

To a second homeless person who sat next to me at Dundas Square to take a break and asked me, “Buddhist?”  I replied, “It’s Hare Krishna.”

“Oh yeah, Hare Krishna!  My next birth will give me another chance.”

“Yes, it will,” I assured him, as he extend his hand for a shake.

The final person to say something looked okay.  His remark was, “The devil is coming!”

My response was, “He’s already here!” implying that the age of darkness (Kali) has descended.

May the Source be with you!
