Mayapura, India
Some Good Stuff
A great wave of humidity seemed to land in Bengal, which not everyone can tolerate. Our cast of performers got affected, some stricken with fever. It meant we had to cancel the show tonight. You might call it a ‘break-out’.
In the meantime, there are some break-throughs for our Krishna society. Prime Minister Mody recently unveiled the largest scriptural text in the world—The Bhagavad-gita. Installed in the location of where the Gita's message was delivered, in Kuruksetra, northern India, it becomes a major landmark for the Vaishnava culture. Then closer to home base, an apology was read out to our leaders concerning an event in 2016 when there was somewhat of a physical attack on one of our Governing Body Commissioners, Madhu Sevita, this year's chairman. It was a gesture of goodwill and it cleared the air. It's always positive to take a humble position. https://iskconnews.org/indian-prime-minister-modi-unveils-800-kg-gita-at-delhi-temple,6860/
According to Bhakti Caru Swami—a monk who has been residing in Mayapura for forty-three years—concerning the administrative team at the ISKCON headquarters, a new wave of a younger generation is taking hold of administration tasks. This is a hopeful sign.
We are a young society. It takes some time for things to settle when dust is shot in the air. As a culture which is steeped in bhakti (devotion), we should be ready to learn tolerance and turn it into triumphant.
May the Source be with you!
