IMMERSE IN BHAKTI YOGA

Hamilton, Ontario

The ISKCON Angus Bhakti Yoga Circle is a success story. Once a month the group meets at a Royal Canadian Legion Centre attracting locals, the bulk of them of a more western background. Today some of its members came forward to take that next step to join Prabhupada’s family. Three candidates for initiation accepted diksha and I congratulate them.

Tara accepted the Sanskrit name Tamaharini, which means “destroyer of darkness.”Kenneth took the name Kana, an affectionate name for Krishna. And Jay took the name Jai Chaitanya which means literally “victory to the living force” and of course, we refer here to the Golden Avatar, Chaitanya.

Also one of our young local boys, Aryan, accepted his new beads and took the name Aditya, a name for the sun. Additionally, one of our men from the local Scarborough centre received his second initiation, brahminical.

The above are all special souls endowed with their own talents given by God. We are very proud of them.

Speaking of yoga culture, Nityananda and I drove to Stoney Creek, a section of Hamilton, along with three other enthusiasts from Toronto, at location Immersive Om. This is a new yoga destination and it is run by a beautiful brother and sister team from Iran. The space is great and the maha mantra that we inserted into the area was a real good fit, so they expressed. You can’t go wrong with that mantra.

IMMERSIVE OM, STONEY CREEK.
