Preparing for MANtra
What is really good news is the
preparation for this year’s MANtra retreat. Behind us all are the virtual
sessions of 2022 and 2021. This exciting program, now back to physical
interactive-ness, carrying the theme “Together Again” will take place in the
Appalachian Hills of West Virginia and New Vrindavan. The time soon approaches
us – September 9th, 10th & 11th – when men
of the Vaishnava orientation will bond on “conscious” living.
Whatever the endeavor in the past
four years, whether virtual or practical, it has met with success. So now
people can register and plan for the travel. Being one of the founding fathers
of MANtra, I am pleased to see a continuity of meaningful philosophical
presentations, entertainment, meditations and good eating. Included in the
program is a drama prepared by our own Bhakti Academy Toronto (BAT) group. The
curtains will be drawn for our production “Demon,” about a father/son
relationship gone bad or, as some well-read pastimes from the Vedas would know,
it is the story of Prahlad and the Lion Avatar.
It is my hope that other
locations on the planet will host similar Men’s retreats, to give attention to
the specific needs and concerns of men. It’s much needed. While Vaishnavis have
had this session, it is equally important to address concerns for
spiritually-powering males.
For today some of that element I
experienced while Vishal and I drove up to Wasaga Beach to associate with Jiva
Mukta at his home on this most fantastic beach in Wasaga.
May the Source be with you!
