THE FOURTH STOP
Saturday, December 27th, 2025 Barrie, Ontario The Krishna Fest Road Show continues this day in Barrie, at the Collier Street United Church. The main worship area is nicely maintained. The banquet hall where we were to perform needed a bit of cleaning on the stage especially. It is not a complaint. Mohit and Raina, the enthusiastic couple, are grateful that we have the space in the downtown core. The program was to start at noon. We had only an hour and a half to piece everyt

IMAGES OF CHARM
Friday, December 26th, 2025 Huntsville, Ontario The show of appreciation of the previous night’s Gita performance was very high coming from our Montreal group. Our technical abilities for demonstrating super sound or visual effects aren’t daring and this is no discredit to Sarthak and Monik, our techies. They do phenomenal work. I believe it is the simplicity behind the actors’ movement that won the show. I did ask one of the young boys his favourite part and his response was

SNOW LOVE
Thursday, December 25th, 2025 Montreal, Quebec I opened up the door after a snooze for the night, and I saw what many people expect for the day of the 24/25th of this month – lovely white snow. I closed the door behind me, and I didn’t exactly trudge through the stuff even though it was beckoning me to do so. On the one hand it appeared to not being disturbed with my footprints. It was 4 AM. Rabbits had already left their impression. Perhaps I can be given the chance. It was

WALKING, DRIVING, AND SHOWING
Wednesday, December 24th, 2025 Ottawa, Ontario It has been a common practice for me to begin a lengthy automobile journey without a vehicle. I’ll tell my principal driver, “While everyone is getting packed and ready, I’ll start walking. Just pick me up.” So that’s what a group of us, eleven in number, proceeded to accept. I started walking at 5:15 AM, when I met Wayne, our neighbour, who walks with his assistant dog and his walker device. “Do you celebrate Christmas?” he aske

YULETIDE ENCOUNTERS
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2025 Downtown Toronto It is true that at this time of the year people are in good cheer, at least in this part of the world. My walking partner, Uddhava, and I experienced it for ourselves. My day was wonderfully occupied by leaders of our Yorkville drama and bhajan as well. An excellent rehearsal ensued, but it was after such gatherings and sets for a material perspective (within our mission) that Uddhava and I encountered real nice folks along Yonge

THE SHOW IS COMING
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2025 Yorkville, Toronto Happy Winter Solstice! And on this fine day when daylight hours increase starting now, a group of fellows I’m training for The Gita are doing well. They are taking the practice as a service to Krishna. The teamwork is appreciated. The objective is to get tighter and tighter in the moves and gestures in enacting Krishna’s words and Arjuna’s reactions. It is only our 4th day in practice and there will be just one more before goi
