Burnaby, British Columbia
Attention Given to Krishna
So, the worship of Krishna went
on in a very celebratory way, and, as usual, right up until midnight. Here in
Burnaby the crowds were thicker than ever. The sweat was also thick and when
entering into the temple it seemed more like a swimming pool, if not, a sauna.
People love Krishna and so they came in great numbers.
The two years of lockdown have
had an effect on all of us. Covid has indeed compressed and confined us for
that while and there appears to be a sort of backlash. The parking lot was
full, both in ISKCON’s facility as well as the VHP temple next door. They celebrated
yesterday and left their parking lot for our usage. According to the ISKCON
management, many new people have come to pay homage on this Janmasthami day.
What really helped in giving
attention to Krishna and His birth were the announcements on live radio the day
before. Mukunda Madhava drove Manu and I to two radio stations – Sher E. Punjab
AM 600 and Media Waves Internet Radio for interviewing us. It paid off.
Multitudes came.
Also, I am receiving reports from
other locations in the US, Canada and other places – all good. People are back
to being together again and all on the premise that Krishna is popular.
Let us reciprocate with His mercy
by being good to each other.
May the source be with you!
