Thursday, March 5th, 2026 North York, Toronto My beautiful day started with a mouse. At that auspicious time of 4:25 AM I saw him lying in front of the altars. It was motionless, dead. I don’t know the cause of its departure ,but I was rather happy for it simply because where the little creature was positioned was a nearness to God. One of our stalwart devotees who attends the first service of the day at the temple responded to my pointing at the departed mouse. He knew of a

Wednesday, March 4th, 2026 Ramsden Park, Toronto I am back at my service and I went around asking our resident devotees what was eventful on this day when Holi  is celebrated by many people from India, especially. Vatsal: I came back from work at Boosters Juice to the temple, and I noticed some people with their faces covered with that coloured powder and I had a major flashback that took me to my childhood when there was so much fun and colour in the atmosphere.

Monday, March 2nd, 2026 Mumbai, India When I saw the young man sweeping the leaves from the temple court yard, I was actually also in the midst of cleaning.

I was chanting japa  at the time, pacing my steps on the tiled floor, going for an internal cleanse. I was a trite envious of him. He was doing a more successful job than I was. I just had to take a p

Monday, February 23rd, 2026 Govardhan Eco Village, India At 7 AM, I was at the clinic for the virechana . It involves (after some Vedic mantra s) consuming a cup of herbal laxatives. Yes, this was the day I will purge – a major clean out. After an hour of a gentle swallow of the purgative, bowel movements are supposed to happen. Well, that is not a lie. Bowel motions are very apparent, almost every hour. With seven as the golden number (it was 7 bulls that Krishna fought), I

Sunday, February 22nd, 2026 Govardhan Eco Village, India When we arrived here I was struck by the beautiful Sahyadri Mountains. And operations here are clean, which is impressive. My next door neighbour, Vrndavanath, who interacts with me everyday, is a serious studier of the Bhagavatam . He is at it for hours every day. I was concerned though about something. “Prabhu, do you have some balance in your day? I applaud you for your being so studious, but what else is going on?”
