Friday "Sunday feast"

 

     I went to a Hare Krishna program yesterday. Once a month brahmacaris from Scotland come to Liverpool and organize a little festival. I was thirsty of Vaisnava company so I decided to go. It was quite nice. There was an Indian dance (don’t know which one, I know only how to distinguish bharat-natyam and it wasn’t it) performed by two girls, one was English, other Indian, there were bhajans, and amazing amount of prasadam. The amount is very important to me:) Sometimes even more important then the quality. If I’d have to choose between food that is delicious but scarce and food which is “ok”, but plentiful, I’d go for plentiful (yes, I know, sometimes I’m just a regular redneck). Still the food was nice. I liked that the brahmacaris let to participate everyone, there was even a guitar bhajan led by a girl who hardly new maha-mantra and needed to be helped with the “lyrics”.
     While taking prasadam I had a nice conversation with Sam, who is a sailor and a Christian. He’s a captain on a ship, organizing cruises for young people who want to know Christ little bit closer. I liked him. The way he talked about spirituality and God was very universal, I find it attractive. We exchanged the phone numbers, I’m going to visit his ship one of these days.
     Still no luck with a job. I had one offer, it was nice, money was good and the place too, but they wanted someone for night shifts, and there is no way I could pull it off. I’d be a zombie and anyway I want to be able to see Saragrahi or other people, and it wouldn’t happen if I started my job at 8PM and finished at 8AM.
     Today it’s Saturday, I’ve already sent some CVs, but it’s weekend so I don’t expect anything to happen. I’ll just go for a long walk around Liverpool, chanting rounds and listening to lectures, trying to be closer to Krishna.
