243 Avenue Rd., Toronto

 

Moving

 

A good massage brings on the agility I need for getting the legs to operate better. Thanks Cameron. And shingles are slowly faded, for now. I feel great.

 

I was speaking with another one of my monk godbrothers, a swami, who is itching away with shingles. “Better get it confirmed,” I suggested. “Send some photos of your rash to your doctor. He’ll know.” I also suggested to try a little tilak method, application of sacred clay. Regular clay should do also to help stop the spread. At least the method is doing something for me.

 

Around the corner is Gaura Purnima, the full moon when monk Chaitanya was born. His birth was on February 18, 1486 by solar calendar, and bhakti yogis in the Vaishnava tradition will be engaged in joyful ceremonies to honour the person referred to as the Golden Avatar. He was quite the influential swami, who traveled on foot throughout much of India, sharing the maha mantra.

 

It was back in the early 80s that we sent delegate of monks to the eastern city of Halifax to share this great mantra with the people on the Atlantic coast. One of those monastics recently sent me a pic of a group of three engaged in Kirtan chanting in the downtown. It’s a vintage shot and it’s precious.

 

The prediction holds that in every town and village the chanting of the name of God would come to pass. Currently, we have a nice group of young families living there and meeting together (at least virtually for now). Try to say this, param vijayate sri Krishna sankirtan, which means victory to the mantra movement.

 

May the Source be with you!
