Durban,
South Africa
Godly Delights
There
was this incredible nature's light show last evening, the likes of which none
of us had ever seen before. I'm talking
about extraordinary cloud formations in the night, lit up by constant flashes
of light, thunder bolts, all in the presence of the moon. We were enroute to the festival site, the old
Durban Drive-In Theatre, and it became astounding to see, and was the talk of
the town. Upon reaching our destination,
the extravaganza continued. It looked
like the gods at war, executed in silent mode.
Rain had
penetrated the skies during the day leaving our huge tent full of water. It was like a swimming pool, and our
rehearsal on the stage was cancelled.
There could have been electrocution issues. Precaution was necessary.
Coming
back to the tent today—it was a different world. Water was drained and pumped out. All was functioning. The sun's appearance was strong. I came into the site to take the lead as
dance master in the tent labeled "The Bhakti Cloud." That was exhilarating for all of us there. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwb658sgZMW/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=s6f0bxbqcbd2
There
was also the showing of Michael Oesch's film, "The Walking Monk,"
just before our drama, "Grandsire."
The film promotes the walking culture, and also features philosophical contemplations
along the way, on one of Canada’s beautiful road arteries. https://filmfreeway.com/MichaelOesch I was worried whether people would appreciate
the film because it was the first time there that this has been done. After the showing and before the drama,
Radhika, the master of ceremonies, aroused a standing ovation to honour the
milestone of my walking ventures, and the twenty years of my contributions to
South Africa's Festival of Chariots.
May
the Source be with you!
