A Killer Kirtan
It was a bit unfortunate that
Lajput Prasher, the sponsor for today’s big kirtan at the Hindu Sabha
Temple, just couldn’t attend. The event, which attracted 300 plus people, and
which had kirtan leader, Ajamil and my humble self doing our thing,
experienced the absence of Laj’s family. Unfortunately, some of his family is
struck with Covid.
Yes, the nasty little virus is
still lurking around. The pandemic is not over just yet.
Nevertheless, a fine kirtan
grabbed the crows. Everyone sang. Clapped. Even danced! It was something
different for the community here. There is a special flavour delivered,
especially when Ajamil gets behind the mic; it takes on that Bengali spirit. Explosive!
Emotional! The bigger gatherings are coming back to life.
We certainly worked up a sweat.
Hunger came naturally, so the prasadam served was popular. What a
fantastic program!
After the program our driver,
Gabriel, dropped me offat Cedarvale Ravine in Toronto, at my request. I decided
to get some kilometres in on foot. Despite the evening’s darkness and mud
puddles galore, I made it through. The night walk paid off in terms of healthy
outcome. I had the best sleep in months. There is a good amount of moisture in
the air. Perhaps that accounts for the good rest.
May the Source be with you!
