Anchorage Alaska
Full and Fun
It was a day full and fun.
Firstly, Krishnadas and I went for our morning walk. Then Sudevi had lined up a
series of events that stretched throughout the day. A.T.O.M. (Ancient Teachings
of Masters), our small Anchorage group, came to listen to a woman’s life
journey and it was interesting; from the perspective of her presentation, her
language and evolution.
By noon time we were set up for
some pooja or worship at the newly constructed Ganesh temple. This
location was the former center for A.T.O.M. and is a mere two blocks away from
Sudevi and Ryan’s place. How convenient! The attendees there were mostly
tourists, like Krishnadas and myself.
Folks came from Dallas, Orlando and Cleveland. It was Nice to unite with our
Hindu brothers and sisters.
With the regular rain upon us for
days we were craving to get out to see more of Alaska’s naturalness. Fog and
wetness had obscured any visible beauty but we couldn’t complain. Thus far our
stay has been phenomenal and, to top off today’s journey, we drove to the
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and, once again, it was nothing to do with
a presentation I put out. I was here to watch and learn. On display were
indigenous members of the wildlife community. Muskox, bison, bear, moose,
caribou, and porcupine were behind fences but then I saw adequate space. The
public came and appreciated. I do have mixed feelings about animals in a type
of captivity but, to put it more cleverly, these creatures are in a rescue
category.

was viewing surfers as the high tide came in at Turnagain Arm’s Channel. Quite
amazing!
May the Source be with you!
