HAPPINESS IN MIAMI

Miami, Florida

I have come full circle with my Florida trip, venturing from one Sunday feast to the other, beginning with Orlando to Miami. There have been fun and friends along the way. During these seven days of light and bright occasions, I have caught some information of ladies’ protests of a more violent revolutionary action in Iran. While I’m having a good time, the people of Iran have taken up a brave stand against oppression. I am happy for them. Oppression, which includes mistreatment of women, is never blessed.

Meanwhile, on the Miami front, I am attending a beautiful 4:30 AM arati program. I was thrilled to embrace Adi Karti, a godbrother from the U.K. Also, I became acquainted with a set of twins, originally from Cuba. Raphael and Gabriel are identical twins. They share the same mindset, which is a spiritual one. Like most youths in North America, they were beset by toxic habits. Fortunately they came out of it. One book, Science of Self Realization, came their way, authored by Prabhupada, which changed everything. They have been exploring bhakti, and in their words, are saying that service is their mandate. I must say that I am most happy for them having gone through struggles of an oppressive nature. Enough is enough with this mindset.

Miami is a place that I need to visit. I took advantage of the weather and whim.  “Let’s go to the beach so before the feast.”  Jaya Dharma took me to the Biscayne Beach for health and well-being. ‘Twas sweet.
