Wasaga Beach/Toronto

Meaningful Talks

Radhika is one of the young girls from our Brampton ISKCON Centre, who has a knack for doing artistic things.  She is quiet, and not yet a teen (my guess), but she really excels in sketching and working with different mediums.  Attached is a rendering of youthful Krishna by Radhika.  It’s beautiful.  It was a birthday gift.  Thank you.

What was also beautiful was the sangha, or community gathering, that a few of us older guys indulged in.  Keshava, Vaisnava, Krishnadasa and I are in our early to late sixties.  Jiva Mukta will be sixty shortly.  We talked about Krishna who’s always youthful.  We talked about aging and the practical reality of needing facility for our members in their maturing years.  That spun off into other lively topics.  Of course, Donald Trump’s name came up.  I think his name comes up into regular conversations globally.

Ultimately, what we concluded in our word-tossing was how important our spiritual life is to all of us.  A return to transcendence is what is of paramount importance.  As our guru, Prabhupada, pointed out so often, each and every one of us are part and parcel of the Supreme.  Somehow or other, we came in contact with matter and thus ran into multiple complications.  Life needs to be simple.

Our time in talk near the beach in Wasaga was so well worth it.  My evening hours were also cherished over dinner (healthy it was) with Kevala and Taravali.  More discussions. 

End conclusions: surrender

May the Source be with you!
