Milton, Ontario
Pleasant Swami
We have a pleasant swami visiting us in the
Toronto and surrounding area. His name is Bhakti Prabhava Swami and he’s from
Europe, speaks Flemish, French, English, etc. He actually came physically and
not virtually; our first significant guest since the inception of covid 19.
Lined up for the sannyasi (monk) were a number of sanghas
(gatherings) for speaking engagements, in homes and the temple. I had the
pleasure to hear from him for two Bhagavatam classes, and it was enriching.
From the class on Sunday and its subsequent
discussion, I extracted a few fun phrases that he expressed, one of them being,
“the SUPERsoul SUPERvises.” And, one conclusion we came up with, “We are doers,
but Krishna is THE doer.” Interesting!
While Bhakti Prabhava Swami was busy over
the weekend, with delivering the message of Bhagavat philosophy, I also had my
share of commitments. For instance, in the morning I led a japa
worskshop, virtually, for some of our leaders of Bhakti yoga clubs at various
universities across the country. When asked to do this, I felt a little
reluctant, feeling somewhat unqualified to speak about a subject I’m not expert
in. Apparently, whatever I did say was appreciated.
I also conducted another one of those
classes on the topic, “Just Do It!” for our Milton group. It was their first
coming-together in 19 months. It was precious.
May the Source be with you!
