Ramsden Park, Toronto
A Newness
Major demolition went on in our men’s ashram, which needed love and attention. Yes, it was time to pull out the parquet floor boards, toss out old furniture, including beds, and start out with a fresh look and feel. The pandemic is arranging for time to get some things done, which is great. Even the public washrooms are having an overhaul. When the renovations are completed, which should be in September, our community should be very happy. Thanks to them we are able to get these positive changes done.
It is important that the quarters in a spiritual place be very clean and presentable. Our hope is to have a facility that will draw the attention of “weekend monk try-outs.” Families, if they are small enough, could also take advantage. New classrooms will also be accommodated because, after all, the facility is to be a devotional/educational place.
I would say we have a lot of good people in our community and I hope and pray that we will maintain the “new” quarters very nicely.
Speaking of nice folks and nice places, just across the street is where I spend some time each day. Today a Mauritian family came to picnic in Ramsden Park at my suggestion. Aindra, Prema, as well as their son and his friend were out to enjoy the green space with me.
It’s the way the world should be — nice interior/exterior buildings and space for freedom; to have some recreation with Krishna at the centre.
May the source be with you!
