WHAT WILL BE NEW IN THE NEW YEAR?
Tuesday, December 30th, 2025 Toronto, Ontario We are in the midst of winding down another year. It becomes most appropriate to analyze, assess, reflect on what this past year has done for us. In my own meditation on 2025, it has been in many ways, a mess of a year, socially, politically and spiritually. For those who hold fast to dharma , righteousness, there is sustainability. A level of tolerance and hope prevails in the lives of the faithful. With all the discontentedn

OBSERVING OUR MACHINES
Monday, December 29th, 2025 Owen Sound, Ontario Sudhama and I had taken to the walking track on the second floor of the Bay Shore hockey complex, which in some way we felt it not to be complete as an exercise. “What if we just took a ride to the downtown for a walk on the salted sidewalks. We can capture some good air?” I suggested. Sudhama liked the idea for that short 1.6-kilometre drive. Just as we were moving on and talking about vehicles and the expense they incur,

CRUISING THROUGH THE STORM
Sunday, December 28th, 2025 Collingwood, Ontario It was merely a one-hour drive to Collingwood from Barrie. Our team of eleven were well rested, compliments of Dave Patel, owner of Four Points Hotel. The night before, we took full advantage of the porch. Of myself included, adding to the adventure of our road show, and creating a memory that the body won’t soon forget. Harsh weather has come on easily this year. As I write this blog, there are serious warnings about treachero

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
