Casa Loma, Toronto
Follow or Fall
I love the Gita chats that
have become part of my covid reality. Regular groups are hosted from Florida,
Cleveland, Halifax, Vancouver, Saskatoon, Mississauga, Hamilton, Toronto, Mauritius,
Niagara Falls, and Buenos Aires. And it looked like South Africa was on the
list, but I’m not so sure now. I can’t forget Ottawa.
While I conduct these chats, I
like to keep them as such, keeping them interactive as much as possible. I want
to hear from the participants. Similarly, I also want to listen in on classes
in the morning from others. These are somewhat related to the Gita, only
it’s another book – the follow up – called the Bhagavatam.
The person organizing the
schedule for those classes in Toronto is Maha Bhagavat. He just happened to be
the speaker this morning as he was on the schedule. He did a splendid job
speaking about the precarious nature of moths doing their suicide thing.
Attracted by the light and heat of fire, they end up unceremoniously being
reincarnated.
It was a pleasure to hear him
talk, as I like to hear others, like our own Woody Allen look-a-like, Hara
Kumar. His content is good, although he might make use of eye-contact a little
more.
I know for a fact that our guru,
Prabhupada, relished hearing his disciples give class.
Some of today’s talk was a play
on words, “Follow or fall.”
Of course, this is not in
reference to the moths.
May the Source be with you
