Niagara / Toronto
A Mind Reader?
Anytime a monastic guest arrives in Toronto, I feel a happy obligation to take him to the Falls, which is a mere hour and a half away. Sundarlal, from Mauritius, made it here for the first time, and along with our driver, Nanda, we took a trip on what seemed like the first day of summer this year.
Starting on foot near white water with its rushing and roaring, Sundarlal, like all newcomers, became amazed by the elemental power. While we were observing the majesty, a man from Kentucky, also a tourist, came over for a chat.
“Buddhist monks?”
“Actually, Krishna! Hare Krishna!” I clarified.
The outgoing friendly chap, with sun hat and shades, declared he was a mind reader. With a Festival of India card, I gave him, he pressed it to his head and then recited the entire Mantra, found on the card. “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare Hare….” https://www.instagram.com/p/By6fVxjgUeu/?igshid=1k6ohk7flkshl
“Magic!” we asserted. “Magic!”
He gave us a boost.
Now, everyone knows my passion for theatre of a transcendental nature. I rarely see live theatre, although I produce plays with a spiritual content. Stephen, Balaram, and I have all worked as a team on dramas. To gain exposure, ideas, inspiration, etc., we booked ourselves tickets for a performance of “The Book of Mormon” at the Ed Mirvish Theatre in Toronto. It was an entertaining experience. The troupe was tight in their presentation. The audience of 2300, all stood for a standing ovation. However, much of the content was somewhat too vulgar for me. It was a learning experience.
May the Source be with you!
