243 Avenue Rd., Toronto
Bhakti Infused
At noon I had some special guests, a couple who are married, yogis, devotional and mature. We met and spent an hour or more in Govinda’s for a meal. Their journey began at the Sivananda institution, becoming trained in yoga. They adore Prabhupada, his books and teachings and take time every day to view him on screen in addition to watching Ratha Yatra programs going on around the world.
It was like being with friends in their presence. They enjoyed the prasadam (blessed, sanctified food). I first met them three weeks ago when our devotees from Toronto collaborated with the Hindu Sabha temple on a modified version of the Chariot Festival. Like me they are not of East Indian descent but they have picked up on the spirit of the culture most organically. So, it was refreshing meeting such bhakti enthusiasts.
Speaking of bhakti, devotion, I was feeling a lot of this today from individuals such as my physio supporters — Paramahamsa, our Croatian maintenance guy as well as Krishna Chandra, the yoga instructor. I am making rapid progress because of their efforts. On top of that is the help from Dr. Juta from South Africa and Dr. Vikas Pandith a.k.a. Jagannath Misra.
A big amount of credit to my healing must also go to the Maha-mantra itself. Wrapping up the day at 7 PM with our regular team of characters; resident devotees Dharma, Karuna Sindhu and Dwarkanatha, We sit on the exterior stairs and chant away.
May the Source be with you!
