The Book Bhagavatam
I rarely see residents coming or going from their condos
across from the castle called Casa Loma but one man did peep out of his stately
place and noticed Nimai and I walking.
It was a gray-haired out-going fellow, a Jewish doctor with roots from
Hungary. He was curious.
“You’re Hare Krishna!
I don’t know too much about it.
You live there on Avenue Road?
Really, you live there?” The
conversation went on for quite the while and we left our new friend with an
invitation when it’s all over. “Come to our temple and see the restaurant when
Covid-19 is under control.”
There is something else for people to consider during this
lockdown time when there just might be time for reading. Apart from dreaming about visiting a place of
worship and meditation and a great restaurant in the meantime let’s look at the
Vedas, an ancient wisdom from the east.
There is something called the “Bhagavatam”
a veritable encyclopedia on self-realization that voices reality from
illusion. It’s so beneficial.
Those of us monks who live in the ashram are crazy about
this book. We spend an hour discussing
the science of the self with one person taking the lead. I will be broadcasting classes on the Bhagavatam three or four times a
week. I will inform you of those days
once we decide and also the actual time in the morning for this. The book has 12 sections and currently our
monks are looking at the 10th section.
The set of Bhagavatams
are available for purchase at a reduced rate.
May the Source be with you!
