Scarborough, Ontario
People
“People, people who
need people,
Are the luckiest
people in the world…”
The above lines, the
beginning lyrics to “People,” sung by Barbara Streisand, come to my head on
occasion when on foot, on the road—especially after I’ve met some.
It is sung by Barbara
gloriously, with fullness of voice and feeling.
And because the experience of interaction with people can be so
meaningful, fulfilling and complete in the course of the day, you just want to
sing it out while in the countryside, or in a valley, perhaps, in full volume,
and most likely when far away—from people.

Today, I mingled as
well as presented—before many people—at ISKCON Scarborough, then the Hindu
Prarthana Samaj and then ISKCON Toronto.
My presentations are to inform, and I was happy to see the reciprocation
from the people with eyes wide open (except for the session when I asked for a
deliberate eyes-shut in order to concentrate on mantra sound) and with
responses of nods, smiles, gravity and laughter.
The topics for these
people were “Down With Fanatical Spiritualism,” “Listen and Chant,” and “You
Are What You Think About.” All topics
based on the science of the Bhagavad-gita
are messages for people—by people, especially the Supreme Person. Krishna is the speaker of the Gita and my voice is merely an
instrument meant to echo out...to the people and for the people.
May the Source be with
you!
