Heal and Wonder

Saint John, New Brunswick

Nitai Rama and I had flown to Halifax to join up with Mukunda and Hladini, a devotee couple residing there. From this coastal city we drove to another province, New Brunswick, to reach destination point – The Inner Wholeness Centre, in the urban settlement of Saint John. The venue is a mid 19th century building, a former stately home of a ship builder, still solid in structure, with architectural features of another era, this space was just perfect for a Krishna meditation session arranged by Nina, a local nurse.

It goes without saying that mantras do heal people all around. It impacts the subtle inner body which then influences our exterior body of flesh, marrow, skin and so on.

The healing power of mantra was at work for the group that came. We also swung into a dance as we swayed in robes and pants (the women are in pants and the males are in dresses, well, robes).

After all was done in this unique kind of fun, Mukunda, Nina and I, hit the urban nature trail where we spotted a fox and her pup, a porcupine busy at chewing, and varying waterfowl. All of them are in their own element, wild and free.

I do sometimes wonder why humans can’t be simple like them, being into family, and in harmony with the environment?
