Surrey, British Columbia
The Here and Now
I’ve been in touch with Neil who’s a sculptor from Ontario and who forwarded me some pics of his new wood sculpting assignment. This is a project we’ve been speaking about since the summer last. The pics show the select maple wood he’s going to use for rendering two pieces – one of a flute-playing life-size Krishna and another of a Radha who will pose with a blessing from the hand, also life-size.
These two exciting pieces will adorn the future project for Huntsville. Neil is most excited about it and so am I. It will attract attention for our upcoming restaurant/temple project.
While plans are underway for some gorgeous wood images to manifest, I’m quite involved in the here and now. I’m physically and mentally absorbed in our existing Burnaby project. The attention to the building is one thing, but more importantly are the people; the congregants. We pulled off two fabulous seminars, such as the “Nine Devotions Workshop” and another one, the “Kirtan Standards” seminar. Both events served to bond all that were there.
Today was significant in that temple evening and morning programs were focused and meaningful with our community, but in between Vrnda, Jay-Go, and I drove to Surrey for a sweet visit to the home of Chaitanya Hari, where he resides with his parents and new wife. The blessed or consecrated food we call prasadam was to die for.
May the Source be with you!
