Lucknow / Delhi
Moving On With Repairs
A physiotherapist by the name of Sita-Ram did a splendid job on my body just hours before leaving for the Lucknow Airport. He and his apprentice did a kind of makeover on the machinery.
“What’s bothering you?” he asked first, before beginning the therapy.
“Well, today it’s been the left knee,” I admitted. So they tackled that and all connected to that pivotal part of the leg. Sita-Ram and companion were thorough and even left me with some exercise moves in order to prolong the improved body. He expressed about the arthritic ‘other’ knee, too. That’s not news to me, of course. He encouraged me to keep walking—which I’ve noted just one more time from one more expert.
This body is meant for mobility. It’s also meant for God. I just can’t imagine not having it in operating condition, for going to the temple or just that recreational stroll.
I’m seeing my peer monks departing for their distant lands—Ramai Swami—off to Australia, Badri Narayan Swami—off to Los Angeles; he’s moving around with a cane, poor guy. I might be there some day, but heaven forbid; we will try to avoid that as far as possible.
I tell myself, “Do that walking and be preventative. Watch the diet.” So I had bindi the other day. Bindi means okra and I'm told it’s good for the joints. I’m glad I'm connected to Indian cuisine, which is big on the stuff. I love it when it’s offered to Krishna.
May the Source be with you!
