The People of Today

Tom Brown came to visit today with Julie. “It’s about time, Tom. You’re finally settling down. Congratulations!” He admitted that he’s been too much of a nomad, so this is good for him. It always gives me satisfaction when I hear of two people coming together, and especially when they have expressed interest in spirituality.

Tom and Julie passed my door when they were headed for taking a peek at our sacred Tulsi plant in her greenhouse. Julie is the type that loves plants and he’s getting acquainted with this member of the basil family. I’ve known tom for thirty years plus, and he appears to be sharing what he knows about Krishna with Julie.

Meeting this couple, with their sharing plans, was gratifying but I was also blessed today to speak to my spiritual peers. I gave three of them a call, asking if they would pitch in for the Gita sponsorship this month. In the course of these telephone conversations, we actually asked how each of us were doing; physically, spiritually, on all levels. The reports, if you will, were good.

We also chatted about other peers who have recently gone through surgery and all have succeeded in the healing process. The warning signs are out there that our age group (averaging at 70) are needing to intensify the surrendering process.

After my evening walk, I had a sit down with our top monk (brahmacari) who’s in the thick of the book marathon. Prana Gauranga is his name and he has a real love for serving in Prabhupada’s mission. The Bhagavad-Gita, and the Science of Self Realization are his favorites to distribute.

May the Source be with you!
