Toronto / Brampton
The Two Places Are One
Some people dress and act rather kooky. At least that's the way it is at Kensington
Market. Personally I rather like the
liberal nature of the place where today Karuna, Michelle and I rolled out our
drum beats and mantras. Daruka,
who's visiting from Winnipeg, also delighted in the ‘free spirit’ of it all,
and how people respond so favourably.
Folks in the neighbourhood range from the highly intellectual and
artistic, to the intoxicated, and mentally unstable—all very equal from the
spiritual perspective. I mean to say
that the range of karmic aptitude is very broad. https://www.instagram.com/p/B21MNnPgPv5/?igshid=1irc9evc11nsg
We love it.
Then in the evening Daruka drove Karuna and I to Brampton
and a community that you’ll find to be a trifle more conservative in a very
positive way. Brampton is one of those
suburban communities which is populated largely by Southeast Asian folks,
mainly from the Punjab. I was invited to
the household of Pusta Krishna. It was
his mum's birthday. She is an amiable
senior lady who fibs about her age.
"Sweet sixteen" is her determined position of Prithvi
in this regard. Oh well, she still
dances excitedly, like anyone in Kensington would do. In the midst of cheering family and friends,
she aroused us all. https://www.instagram.com/p/B21Mq7DA4U5/?igshid=94hg6p7h1sf9
Daruka, who has been my support person for one-and-a-half-cross-country
ventures was quite elated to be at the birthday, and prior to that, the wild
and free Kensington. Common to both
venues was kirtan chanting.
It's good for all.
May the Source be with you!
