Prominent Persons by Bhaktimarga Swami

A prominent sun dominated the sky and when it was time for it to make its ever so graceful exit a reigning powerful king in the form of the moon set itself firmly in the heavens.

During the hours of light devotional activities prevailed at the temple, beginning with a guru-puja; honouring of the guru just after darshan; the viewing of the deity of Krishna. As the sun rose I was feeling gratitude to the devotees from the Atlantic zone for sending that sun to us. The sun enlivens.

I thought of our younger couple stationed at their bhakti post in Saint Johns, New Brunswick, and their kind gesture of reaching out to all of us. Nakula and Sara are doing a marvelous job at connecting with the local Maritimers.

On my mind also was Gaurachandra and Vani Priya, from Calgary, who submitted some great messages through today’s Instagram frame for The Walking Monk.

I also conducted an interview with god brother, (Go Bro) Yajanahotra, from Vancouver, who told me about his life story — in brief — about his being raised in Winnipeg and his first meeting devotees in Regina. Coincidentally a group of five to six brahmachari monks had occupied the rented house where he had lived with his parents and sister previously. How neat!

What really shone today was the spiritual luminary, of whom today was His birthday. His name is Nityananda and He’s from the 15th century. He is the epitome of kindness. Virtual presentations were made in memory of this divine soul.

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī describes the marks on Kṛṣṇa’s left foot as follows: “At the base of the large toe is a conchshell with its mouth facing the toe. At the base of the middle toe are two concentric circles, representing the inner and outer sky. Below this mark is Cupid’s unstrung bow, at the base of the bow is a triangle, and surrounding the triangle is a group of four waterpots. At the base of the triangle is a half-moon with two more triangles touching its points, and below the half-moon is a fish.

“All together, then, there are nineteen distinguishing marks on the soles of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet.” SB 10.30.25..
