243 Ave. Rd., Toronto
A Special Trip Planned
When I open the window in the
morning, I get a burst of a fragrant lilac explosion and that is early; before
sun-up. By the time the sun does rise, the dynamic colour of this pleasant
flower becomes an additional entertainer. Nature continues to surprise and
charm us (also at times harm us).
Mahadeva, Annapurna, and I are
putting the pieces together for a three-week trip to the east coast. In two
days, the 18th, along with a young man, Bhakta Ryan from Montreal,
we will depart for Nova Scotia to attend the grandiose wedding of Mangalananda
and Ratri. Mangalananda, a.k.a Marshal Daley, is a local devotee with roots
from the British Isles. Ratri hails from Bangladesh, so we are looking at a
mixed relation marriage. (I hope I said it with political correctness). We wish
them well.
The wedding is on the following
Sunday. There will also be an initiation in addition to a book launch of The
Saffron Path. We will carry with us books by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust;
Prabhupada literature. We will hold kirtan or chanting sessions in
homes, yoga studios, libraries, and outdoor parks as a way to share this great
culture with others.
The four of us are truly
anticipating a fun and enlightening journey to Halifax and slowly back our way
to southern Ontario. This, to us, is a real vacation, where the practical and
spiritual worlds come together in a perfect kind of marriage. It is a case, for
us. of being on a honeymoon.
May the Source be with you!
