Pursuing Ultimate Maleness
I cannot boast to have put my walking feet to work
today. Dancing—yes! Regardless, I am somewhat attached, as any
walker would be, to my footwear. When I
saw my sneakers missing from the shoe rack, I did not exactly go paranoid. I was just concerned. It was an innocent mistake, as it ended up
being; an elderly gentleman, a pilgrim, with not the greatest eyesight, who was
pacing nearby. He apologized. No
worries.
Bhuta Bhavana, is a young professional, who led us in a
discussion on: The Three Modes of Masculinity.
We had looked at what it means to be a male under the influence of either
goodness, passion or ignorance. There is
such a reality as masculine toxicity which is often projected through the
filters of the lower modes—passion and ignorance. It is in the mode of goodness that we can
experience the ‘responsible male’. The
responsible male is the mode to aspire toward in building our character.
In the evening, artists presented entertainment along the
theme of ‘negative versus positive maleness’.
A comedian by the name of Ekendra, from Syracuse, New York, had us in
stitches with his portrayal of a fanatical monk from the Black Sea in the form
of, "Yama Niyama Das Brahmacari."
His characterization had me moving laughing muscles which had been
rather inactive.
So now, the reason for the lack of walking was due to my
preoccupation in assembling the premier of our drama, "The
Embassy." Well, my actors, the
boys, did well. One respected member,
Kripamoya, from the UK, after seeing the production said, "You've taken
our theatre to another level."
May the Source be with you!
