I delivered a mini Kirtan Standards course to the devotees of Deland. Some helpful hints in the matter of conscious kirtan can’t go wrong in steering chanters in the right direction. I saw the hard copy of Jayadwaita Swami’s book on the subject on the stand for sale. I grabbed it and used the text as a reference for selling the content’s concepts to the attendees. Afterall, the objective is to follow in the footsteps of the previous teachers. It was appreciated.
Speaking of footsteps, I’m managing to register (with this blog) the walking I can get in. It was just at the 10,000 steps mark as I found some time to kill in the neighbourhood of my hosts, Ananta and Vaishnavi, before embarking on an evening sangha at a house full of bhakti yogis. We teamed up with a crew from Halifax by Zoom to explore 3.40 from the Gita.
The topic was “Lust,” which Krishna analyzes as the all-devouring enemy of humankind. There is a way of treating the attack of this interesting appetite, and that is through the practice of regulation and control. That’s easy to say, but also easy to execute in the preferential environment.
The questions that arose from the onscreen group in Canada, and the offscreen gathering in Alachua, were very encouraging. How, in all honesty, can one manage the urges of sensual powers?
We gave some practical tips.
