It was rather a pleasure to stream three times today.  Online we did go for a group at Farmington Hills, Michigan, for Milton and Toronto.  The presentation was different for each location.  The group in Michigan extended to 90 minutes—lots of questions—highlighting Queen Kunti’s famous words, “May all those calamities happen again and again for when they occur we think of you, My Lord Krishna, and when we do so our samsara (birth and death cycle) ceases to be.”

The message to Milton was similar.  It was about seeking shelter of the protector, in this case, the avatar known as Narasinghadev, half-man/half-lion incarnation.  In the mood of child-saint Prahlad, refuge in Him is what makes all the difference in life.  “Take help. We need it.”

In comparing notes between the mature royal lady, Kunti, and the young prince, Prahlad, one cannot really draw a line between the two surrendered beings.  A saint is a saint.  No distinction needs to be made between genders although both were of royal blood as far as status is concerned.

The presentation for a smaller but curious group with the Temple Groove was interesting.  It is a younger lot, mostly yogis on a genuine search.  Nice folks who listened in on the treasures of bhakti yoga.

There was space in-between the broadcasts so there was room to breathe before my Sunday walking partner, Nimai Nitai, showed up.  We prowled Rosedale, Deer Park and Forest Hill areas.  He even caught a glimpse of our noise making session with the neighbors on Roxborough St. in support of medical workers.
