Freedom

Canta Libre (Song of Freedom)

Taking liberties does not make one free, having no price tag is the only way to do that.

Rain

Raindrops

Raindrops have been falling so much like tears lamenting the separation we feel from our beloved Srila Gurudeva.

Rainy days has become rainy weeks then rainy months

How does that song go?

On & on the rain must fall
Like tears from the stars
On & on the rain must fall
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

As we seek shelter

And we always need love
Good night all


God bless

Joy to all beings

Disappearance

Sadness abounds

Ironic

Today, on the appearance day of Srila Vaman Maharaja, Uma didi's diksa guru, we held the very first Srila Narayana Maharaja Gurudeva Disappearance Day programme at Paramanda Puri and Braja Kishori's house in Murwillumbah, where Uma didi was preparing to celebrate the appearance of her dear Gurudeva, after receiving news that our beloved Srila Gurudeva, Srila Narayana Maharaja, left us at about 3am Puri time.


Tears abound



There was hardly a dry eye to be seen and about 40 devotees somehow dropped whatever they were doing and came to attend. A 24 hour kirtana will be held at Mahaprabhu's house following tonight's Uma didi programme at Dina and Braja's. Be there if you can.


Must go ... time to sweep the kunja ...

RedCrossHall

Brilliant

Last night's programme at the Red Cross Hall was fabulous. We had a pretty good turnout even if the devotees possibly outnumbered the guests merely because so many devotees attended.

Raghulekha's singing was superb, as was Chandramukhi's and Mehkala didi's. Chandramukhi encouraging a positive mood in my approach to bhakti really set things in motion for me; aw fanks mate.

Uma didi's message was (in a nutshell) that since all material endeavour merely ends in death and misery no matter how much you might be enjoying right now, better to focus on spiritual life because that's where the real love and joy is found. I couldn't agree more.

Despite the fact that my material body is well and truly on the way out with problems that severely limit the amount that I can do, I DO feel more fortunate than ordinary people that may be "blessed" with good health and energy levels, ample wealth, etc, because I get the love of my Srila Gurudeva and the sweet association of all the devotees.

Like I said to one dear friend as we sat nibbling on some yummy caramel sweets, "Krishna is our well-wishing friend, Srila Gurudeva loves us, we are on this bhakti-margha chanting the holy name of the Lord. How good is THAT? BRILLIANT!
