Calgary, Alberta
At a Prairie Suburban House
It was quite awesome to see the
number of people come in the evening for prasadam and to hear about
“Tales from Trails.” Radha Madhava and Svasti hosted the dozens of families in
their home on the north east end of town.
I was just completing my weekly
“Gita Chat” on Zoom, as we delved into chapter 3, verse 10, talking all about yajna
(sacrifice) and its prevalence. Then I shifted gears to get on another Zoom
call with my siblings as we usually do when there’s a birthday among us. Today
it was the celebration of our twins. Paul and Pauline turned 60, I believe just
yesterday, so we had a blast with domestic chat.
But the crowds came in and I had
to be excused and tend to them. The place got packed inside and out and I
thought, This is sublime. Mind you, although I was the guest speaker, I
accept the honour of doing this and my presentation is made in Krishna’s
service. The power-walking executed in the past was done on behalf of Krishna
and his rep, our dear Prabhupada, founder of our growing Krishna conscious
movement. I’m proud to be part of it.
I made it clear that the evening
was a book launch for The Saffron Path. I believe every family went home
with a copy. The back cover reveals somewhat of the book’s content: “From being
stalked by a grizzly bear to being mistaken for an escaped prison inmate. The
walking monk braves the elements and adventure across the globe to bring you
the tails only trails can tell.”
May the Source be with you!
