Miami,
Florida
Cool in
Miami
Both last
night and tonight’s sangas were held,
one at the Sraddha Centre and one at the home of Kavi, a godbrother. The kirtans
and dance were so uplifting. I thank
Puneet, who’s visiting from Pennsylvania, for the funky drum beats, and I must not fail to mention the
usual pervading Latino rhythm and drive that made for the ultimate good fun
feeling.
Wallace
Teng—a student from China, residing in Denver—found out about the Hare Krishnas and made his destiny Miami, where he could
find out more. He asked about our core
beliefs. My answer: Each and every one of us is a tiny spark of
life, struggling, and in this struggle we are obliged to find our peace which
rests in bhakti, devotion to
God. It’s the real love we are after.
Diana and
her friend whose name I forget—let’s call her ‘Princess’—came for their first Krishna
gathering ever. Our dance circle engaged
them, along with
everything else. It was a great workout
and an equally great
bonding.
Smack in
the middle of our two evening programs was the Sunday feast program at the
temple in Coconut Grove. I’m seeing for
the first time Russians in good number and young Indian folks, also in good
attendance. The verse to which I elaborated
upon was Chapter 16 Verse 22 from The
Gita.
“The person
who has escaped these three gates of hell (lust, anger and greed), O son of
Kunti, performs acts conducive to self-realization and thus gradually attains
the supreme destination.”
May the
Source be with you!
