Just in Time

This morning my guru Maharaj Bhaktimarga Swami had sent me a reply to my email I sent to him last week.I had told him I was feeling severe separation from the temple and devotees in Toronto. He said that the separation I was feeling is real. He told me to keep reading and writing which is what I am doing now and why I am trying to keep up with my blog posts as well. He also said not to impose on others and to keep my sadhana strong. Then he said to help with some cleaning which I will do for my grandmother either tonight or tomorrow. Maharaj says I am good with cleaning. Lastly, he said he wanted me to call him a day after he gets back from India. I am a little nervous about that one. I hope what he has to say is good news. I am very careful about keeping my guru pleased.

I had spent two quiet days with my grandmother at home. It had rained for the past two days and I couldn't really go out anywhere. So I had to stay inside for two days and the one day my back was hurting me pretty bad.

So today I was able to go out for a walk. I took my grandmother's dog Maggie with me because she loves walks. It was still raining this morning, but it stopped around 1pm and I was able to squeeze in my walk. But by the time my walk was almost over it started to rain again. I made it home just in time. After I made lunch after my walk it was really pouring rain outside. So Krishna got me in the house right on time before it started to pour rain. On the way home from the walk I kept saying "Oh Krishna" as it was started to rain harder, but Krishna was kind enough to hold off the heavy rain until I got in. It's another proof that Krishna protects His devotees from any type of distress or calamity if one remembers Him with love, even if His devotee is in distress and the devotee remembers Him, He will help them. So Krishna helped me by getting me in the house just in time before the heavy rains. It made me think of Govardana Hill just now as I am typing this. :) Krishna protected His devotees from Indra from the heavy rains by lifting Govardana Hill. So in a way Krishna did the same for me by letting me take shelter in Him from the rain.
