Caledon, Ontario
Couples
Just north of Brampton, in the Caledon district, there is this beautiful Nirvana Retreat Centre where a couple’s retreat was held over the weekend. The previous weekend, one was held in Port Royal, Pennsylvania and the same coordinator / presenter offered her services for the first time in Canada, for couples of ISKCON membership. The name of this incredible person is Krishnanandini, from Cleveland. Alongside her is her equally incredible husband, Tariq; they were in addition to another champion marriage team, Partha and Uttama from British Columbia. Thanks also to Radha Bhakti.
I sat in on Krishnanandini’s morning class because I highly support solid marriages and meaningful relationships. This desire for successful marriages is something that deep down everyone hankers for.
Her class, based on the book Bhagavatam, concentrates on the story of the yogi, Kardama Muni, who wanted to have a wife. Nothing wrong with that. The challenge is in making something work in a relationship, and that takes a lot of work. However, it’s worth it. So many skills are learned from the effort—human skills. If we can’t develop good relations in this world, how can we cultivate a relationship with the Supreme? Something to consider.
The class was worth attending. Very inspiring! I was inspired enough to ‘wing it’ when delivering a class myself in Scarborough on “The Opulence of the Absolute.” Bhagavad Gita, 10.35, mentions the high points of the year—spring and fall—fall because of the harvest, which is now.
Indeed, this is a great time of the year.
May the Source be with you!
