Scarborough, Ontario
Wrong Song
Although temperatures were
reporting above freezing, the intermittent raindrops were cold, and the general
overcast nature of weather was rather dismal. That didn’t stop people from
being true pilgrims and visiting our center in both Scarborough and Toronto. As
mentioned before, Sundays are busy days, which in someway restricts me from
getting on the pavement to walk.
The crew, or rather congregation,
is a lively one. Our fearless leader, Dwarka, recently became hospitalized,
putting her out of physical service to the community. However, members of that
community stepped up to compensate for the vacancy. That’s what I mean by the
word “lively.” Also, the fine kirtan led by Madhava and Annapurna really
drew the emotions; sentiment of devotion.
The Toronto community means a lot
to me, although also on my mind are places like Cleveland, Buenos Aires,
Vancouver, etc. and others. I just happen to live in Toronto and that’s why I’m
attached, to some degree.
My talks in both Scarborough and
Toronto were on the topic, “This song can’t be wrong,” in reference to the
oldest song in the world, “Bhagavad-Gita.” Sometimes unscrupulous, so-called
pandits take this song and distorted it. It reminds me of a song by Melanie
Safka, entitled, “What have they done to my song, Ma?”
May the source be with you!
