High Park, Toronto
A Dream Came True
The cherry blossoms are over, but
that did not deter park lovers from coming to High Park. As mentioned, last
week a constant stream of people was flowing into the main entrance off of
Bloor, and it is there, on the green, under the trees, a few meters set in,
where we (the chanters) were. And it was special; a good percentage of people
spilling in wanted to see what the happy excitement was all about.
Our time slot for this weekly
venture, which is likely to run till the end of October, is from 1 pm to 3 pm.
Finishing the kirtan is always a bit tough because no one wants to part.
Gabriel, on the other hand, was permitted to leave for the airport to pick up
an honoured guest who will be with us at the Toronto ISKCON ashram for six
months. His name is Brhat Mrdanga, 27, and hails from Santa Cruz, California.
He’s about to embark on a special program called the “Bhakti Academy,” which
has proven to be a successful training program in the field of learning and
love for life, and especially for Krishna.
This program is a dream come
true. For many years, I had been praying for a monk/nun’s program, so here it
is and our guest, Brhat Mrdanga, has arrived to give a chance to young people
to lead a life of success in the balance of spirit and matter.
Just in the last month, interest
has been shown by people registering. We also have reps from Montreal and
Ottawa, who will learn and share the techniques back in their home temples.
May the Source be with you!
