These Days
These days the routine is sleeping, waking, chanting,
eating, class-giving, counseling, encouraging, zooming and walking. What I consider amongst all of the above
activities which stands out is the walking.
I say that because it is outdoor experience that makes it unique.
Of course it was a special and precious one hour of being on
the phone with Cameron from Hamilton. We
took that time to discuss the intro of the Bhagavad-gita. That was also a breath of fresh air. However, it is that air out there that gives
off all the prana, life-force, that
is so rejuvenating.
That was the good advice that our guru, Prabhupada, took up
when in New York on the Memorial Day weekend.
This Jewish doctor recommended to go for a walk. He even suggested, “He’s praying too much.”
Prabhupada took up the advice as good and began his daily
walk wherever he traveled to. When in
Toronto he walked on the board-walk along the lake. We also took him to Taylor Creek Park which
has a creek flowing into the Don River.
These are sacred places that I sometimes venture off to.
I also do walk being under his inspiration. It’s an obligation. It’s a duty.
When we are doing something that is dutiful the best comes out of the
individual. When you are dutiful then
you are beautiful. That’s what we like
about our guru.
May the Source be with you!
