LOOKING AT LINES

Thursday, April 23rd, 2026

Regina, Saskatchewan

“You will have some physical complications in the future,” said Jagannath as he read my right palm. “Your lines indicate you are good at communication,” is what he concluded with after a quick glance.

Jagannath, now 93, has been a palm reader for most of his life. I remember how he would be so popular at the Chariot Fest in both Vancouver and Toronto. Those line-ups were huge. People are curious to know more about themselves, probing perhaps into the future. Reading palms is an ancient science and it can be harmless if you don’t take the analysis too seriously and loose your dependency on Krishna’s doings.

I had arrived in Regina with two devotees, both professional chefs, to specifically visit Jagannath and daughter, Kavita. I was also scheduled to present a casual talk to the group of young folks that basically run the programs at ISKCON Regina. I was very introductory in my presentation. When I led kirtan they responded in an interesting way. They are a sincere group but lacked a bit in the traditional receive-and-respond method of chanting. I got the feeling they will improve.

We actually hit a snow storm on the way down. It is a very stubborn winter here in the Prairies but it is April and you can expect anything in this month.
