Winnipeg, Manitoba
Home Visits
Visvambhar mentors international
students from India and they are receptive, indeed, to Krishna Consciousness.
Each morning while in Winnipeg, being accommodated in a quaint temple at 124 Hazelwood
Ave., a portion of those students embark on a walk in the area of St. Vital. It
is one of those sections of Winnipeg settled by the French.
My meals are provided by
congregants, which I am grateful for. The zonal supervisor within ISKCON Zone 1
(Canada and six northern states) is Vrnda, a sincere and competent manager and
devotee. She is steering people in the area in a good direction.
Kirtan is something I do in practically all the households I visit. In one
home we were without musical instruments, so we innovated and I used the
refrigerator as my drum. It worked quite well. I could hit different
intonations due to the different compartments within, the highest pitch coming
from the freezer compartment up top.
The final visit today was at the home
of Philip Wilford, whom I haven’t seen in thirty-nine years. His home is one he
seriously and artistically works on. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s
a haven of a place within seventy trees planted on a small lot, resembling a
solemn and meditative cave. St. Francis is there in wood, as an inspirational
deity.
Conversations went so fine at all
the home visits.
May the Source be with you!
