More Meditation

Been awhile since my last post. I was under stress at the beginning of this month but things are quiet now.

Now that it's quiet with so many devotees that had left, I can meditate more. I've also gotten rid of my karmi movies that I used to watch and don't have the time nor care to watch anymore. So that gives me even more time and more concentration to meditate on Krishna during my free time. The Deity doors are open all day today so sometime today I'm going to try to find a good time to chant a little more. I do like to chant when the Deity doors are open. I usually like to sit by Lord Nrsimadeva most of the time.

I also try to meditate on Tulasi a lot too since She is a pure devotee of Krishna. I often wonder how she is rearranging the place for Radha and Krishna to meet. That is what She does from what I learned about Her. Our Tulasi is hanging in there although the cold weather here is making her wilt a bit. The young Tulasis are doing very well and so are some of the older ones, but there are quite a few that are not doing so well. One devotee here said that she is peforming austerities, which does make a lot of sense.

I haven't really had any realizations yet but I probably will by the time I get to Toronto. Initiation is on Jan. 1st. What a way to start off the new year. A new name, a new life, a whole new me I guess with my spiritual life. Hopefully initiation will put an end to the life I had in the past and make me forget about it and focuse more on serving my spiritual master and Krishna.
