243 Ave. Rd., Toronto
Before the Storm
There was a calm before the storm
and that was, for me, a few minutes with Vrkodhar and son. His family, of
Ukraine origin, just moved here to Canada from Israel. When I walked that
historic country – 2009/2010 I believe – Vrkodhar was one of my walking
companions, so we were reminiscing in the comfort of Govinda’s Dining Room.
Israelis are on their fifth wave
of viruses. Perhaps they are ahead of the game in the world scene.
Another calming aspect of today
was an outstanding turn-out and presentation of the second wave of 3.0 North
American Iskcon leaders. Topics such as those executed by the Youth Ministry,
where my dear friend, Manoram, pep-talked on youth engagement. Also,
Kalakantha, who excited all Zoom listeners on what’s called “Krishna House,” a
program for drawing in students to higher consciousness; where they can
experience a monk or nun’s lifestyle for a period of their time. Spiritual
leader misconduct and Child Protection were also on the table. A bright Ted
Talker by the name of Ajit enthused us with wisdom on media exposure. Plus, the
group I’m involved in, the Umbrella Mountain Arts, made its presentation.
In North America we have talent
and we are all seeking more assistance in advancing this great movement.
There’s a soothing hope in the air aside from the snow that just started up.
May the Source be with you!
