Noida, India
Good Sign
I thought it to be a good sign when our plane landed in
Delhi. Vistara Airlines, on my flight, was
playing pop music over the loud speakers, with Louis Armstrong singing,
"What A Wonderful World" which was segued by George Harrison's
"My Sweet Lord." And as any
music lovers from the 1960s know, that song ends with the maha mantra in
a most joyous fashion. Good omen? Yes?
Our usually exuberant drama troupe began our rehearsals on
"The Gita” today. Energy was low,
but the spirit was willingly enough to put out some power. At the end of sessions of practice,
Jambhavan, one of our actors, zipped on a James Brown piece. I told him and the others to please take some
golden footsteps down the hallway—a way to promote happy walking in the world. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CWJUzgPhD/?igshid=1ufk05oboa6ad
The troupe had just fuelled on prasadam and it was
nice. Not too spicy! They got jovial. India does that to you. You can end up being joyful even in the midst
of a chaotic situation. By that, I mean
that our temple in Noida is located with a major freeway ramp in front of
it. There is always a constant ‘hum’ of
traffic and endless car horns tooting. https://www.facebook.com/493443250704999/posts/2739782149404420/
Donald Trump, the U.S. President, is in India. The citizens seem to like him. Of course, India knows how to treat its
guests. The mentality is "whoever
comes to my home is God."
May the Source be with you!
