Able driver, Gabriel, took us from Montreal to Niagara in just under 700 kilometers. It was a pleasant drive, though at spots wind came on strong as we were reminded that winter is not totally over.
Our destination is the town where water from an entire massive lake, Erie, descends 170 feet to create the Falls. In 1969, crews shut down the falls. Two bodies were found and millions of coins, which were removed (along with the remains of two corpses).
The Lions’ Club was kind to have us use their premises on Drummond Road. This was the second week for a physical gathering of devotees in this tourist town. We briefly touched on the topic of a desire to have a gorgeous temple there one day. It would be a mater of building up a community first before erecting a place for Sri Krishna. We also want to include a restaurant and beautiful landscape surroundings.
Our presentation included a viewing of the documentary, Play, Pray, Walk, Laugh – from Karuna Productions – as well as a talk based on the introduction of Bhagavad-gita, highlighting the five main topics of the great classic itself: God, the soul, nature, time, and action.
Speaking of action, I engaged the crowd in a circle-dance to the beat of the drum and mantra. A good feeling came out of the whole event, as usual when conducting anything devotional. We are happy about our new admin structure. Young families and mature congregants are coming.
