Brampton / High Park

Getting About

 

“It’s been 20 years since that incident,” remarked Meghan. Of course, she was referring to 9/11 and the Twin Towers of New York. Yes, it was tragic and the mystery behind it is now the more recent JFK conspiracy. We’ve seen enough of these unresolved calamities. Remember Y2K? Covid is also on the list. Was it the wet market or laboratory, or both which are the culprits behind the pandemic?

 

Enough of that for right now.

 

Saturdays have, for me, been the time to counteract all the intrigue with mantra power. At Mitra’s home in Brampton, R. Gopinatha and S. Seva assumed priestly duties to a Havan, in honor of her initiation. I gave her the name “Madhumati”. Congrats. She is energetic, artistic and devotional.

 

After the initiation I was driven to High Park by a nice Bichar (is his name) who is also aspiring for initiation. As most of you know High Park is the venue for chanting to the public. Our ideal Location is at the major entrance and at a Jack Pine tree where, today, we saw two hawks soaring together hunting for squirrels. They just missed one scurrying along the tree’s trunk.

 

Like last week, people are finding out about our group. They are joining and loving it. It was here that we reminded ourselves of the ill-fated day, 9-11.

 

Two more visits crowned my day. First, a Bengali family who are all patient in regard to mom’s cancer. Chemotherapy apparently was given to Madurya Lila and she’s doing quite well. Then to Karnala’s Home we had more of the same; lively kirtan.

 

May the Source be with you!
