Yorkville, Toronto
Merci Beaucoup!
It’s a long day for sun endurance. Yes, we are approaching
summer solstice. I enjoyed the bench and stretched my neck back to just catch some rain drops the
size of tiny ants. The nostrils couldn’t help the perfumes projected from trees surrounding me. And there
were people all around. I’ve never seen picnicking on the scale it is these
days.
There’s so much to be grateful for. That is the way I’m
viewing the chanting I’m doing. The japa technique is soft and I like to say with it “Thank you again
and again.”
“For what?” someone will say.
And the answer will be, “Thank you dear Krishna, for the
gift of life and the privilege to take to the process of devotional service.” At least, speaking for
myself, my life was saved from the materialistic approach. I was contemplating on this on my walk today. Where
would I be if I did not stumble upon those great souls who plucked me out of the pop culture?
I am forever grateful to them and my guru, Prabhupada.
When I reflect to just four years ago, I was trekking on the road in the U.S., making a big move across that vast land from Boston to San Francisco, and all the great experiences in between. It was indeed a positive jolt for my bhakti with all the great people, the great scenery, and, to some extent, the austerity. Thank you, Lord.
May the source be with you!
