Cabbagetown, Toronto
The Origin of MANtra
It was somewhere near Oakland in California
Where people drive everything from a Harley to a Porsche
Anuttama and I were ambling on our humble feet
As traffic whizzed by like a roaring missile fleet
We got to talking about an absolute need
We had this idea that manifest like a seed
A retreat for conscious men who will open up
Get drunk on nectar brimming to the top of the cup
The bonding, we thought, would be most valuable
A feeling that would rub most palpable
There was a very good reason to have such a meeting
We delighted in the thought of talks, sports and eating
So we assembled together, our first in 2018
The venue was in the gorgeous Appalachian green
It was exciting, it was fresh, it was new
We felt the presence of the Supreme Male who’s blue
A time when we took a break from Maya’s sting
The entire retreat was very highly stimulating
We got to grow, glow and learn to be better men
Sensitive, protective like a rooster to the hen
A Krishna Conscious man can feel a true sense of worth
He can make a positive change to impact the earth
The incentive—to please His Divine Grace, Prabhupada
The people, the planet and most of all, God
