Clearview, Ontario

To Another Farm

Rustic settings, fine ekadasifood, great hospitality, and reminiscences of bygone years as sprightly young monks, filled a good chunk of our day.  It was my first time at Jiva and Sita's farm where primarily plants are the focus.  Nice land. Rolling hills.  The gracious Lake Huron is in sight from the veranda where you get also a view of ponds, sumac, cattails, vintage apple trees, barns and greenhouses all on the property.

It was my first visit here, and a first kirtanto share in the wide-open family room.

Author and Vedic astrologer, Rami Bleckt, wife Marina, and their young four-year-old daughter graced us.  I mean, these or all Bhaktiyogis, who have a good time together.  We left with wishes of more of this.  Gatherings of like-minded people are a social trait of man.  When the purpose is spiritual, it goes so much deeper.

Our wrap-up visit, before heading to the big city, was Wasaga Beach, a fourteen kilometre stretch of sand, making it the longest beach on a fresh-water body in the world.  This I had to show to Kalakanta, as it is just another one of those awe-inspiring features of the area.  I dared Billy and Connor to dive in, but their chicken-hearted nature showed itself. Lol.

It was great to be in the company of USA born Pragosh, who made a name for himself in the ’70s when a young monk distributed much devotional literature at the Chicago Airport.

May the Source be with you!
