Room at 243, Toronto
A Marriage
Gopal had his wedding today. Finally. Like most younger chaps his age, when they hit thirty I’ll question them, if not their dad. “Well, is anything happening in terms of settling down?” It is never a hard pressure but more of a subtle one. Towards encouraging the next step for a younger generation to match and multiply.
Regardless, I’m happy for Gopal. Gopal finally tied the knot with a girl from Florida – Karuna Kunti. Gopal’s parents are extraordinary; deep into bhakti. They attended the wedding, being residents of Toronto. Her family and friends were abroad, mostly in the U.S., catching everything by Zoom.
I was asked to speak briefly and I was indicating to the small group (covid restrictions) that our guru, Prabhupada, married his students as the priest. Often his messages, through letters mostly, were encouraging couples to support each other in service. It’s a good way to keep absorbed in spiritual teamwork. Services of a devotional nature, an offering to Krishna, is the trick.
I do wish the couple well and success in their endeavor towards a wholesome life. I see them as quality human beings. Keeping the Supreme in the centre is key to the working relationship.
It was a happy event; short but sweet. Our priest was Ananda Gauranga and, as usual, he did a great job.
May the Source be with you!
