Tomorrow the festival of inspiration begins! I am preparing myself for it. I hope I am not going to have a hard time sleeping tonight as i did earlier this week. My guru Maharaj and godbrothers and godsisters will be here tomorrow. My guru will probably be here around 2am in the morning. I plan on getting myself up early just in case he goes into the temple room at 3am so that I can give him a garland.I have to get the garland tonight and also two more for one of my godbrothers and godsisters. And Im glad there is still offered Tulasi leaves too that I can give to my guru Maharaj since he does not eat maha sweets.
Today I kept myself busy in the pujari room for three hours. I still need to squeeze in another three hours of service somehow or other. I'll probably go back into the pujari room a bit later Im just taking a break for lunch. I did a lot of cleaning in the pujari room this morning. I try to save a bit of cleaning everyday so that I don't run out of things to do. I hope the authorities bought some wood polish so that I can do some wood polishing in the pujari room and temple room. I'll have to see Bhaktin Shannon sometime later today about the wood polish. Maybe I can do some this evening if they bought some, while I wait to do the Deity plate transfer.
There are three huge tents outside ready to use. One swami had arrived this morning. The others will probably be here tomorrow including mine. I hope my Guru Maharaj will lead kirtan tomorrow morning. Oh boy will that be a party in Krishna's house lol! Like I said before its like waiting to see your favorite rock band in concert on this is 1000 times better because it's free, transcendental and a lot of fun! What better way to spend the weekend than to hear your guru Maharaj sing the Holy Name of Krishna in the temple room? That is pure nectar! I just wish I had a video voice recorder to record his kirtans so that I can listen to them everyday. But when I go back to Canada I'll get one just for that purpose.
There are lots of other activities going ont this weekend during the festivals. There will be plenty of transcendental lectures, and activities for childeren. My guru Maharaj will present a drama play called The Three Lives of Bharata which I have seen already but I'd love to see it again as it is so funny! I love my guru's drama plays. Also the other Swamis will be doing some sort of presentations. Not sure what those are. Radhanatha Swami will also be here. I never met him before. He is very very popular and has many disciples. I haven't read too much about him, I felt much too connected to my own guru Maharaj. They say that you'll know who your aspiring guru is if you are looking for one and that is the truth as I had first hand experience with that. Krishna's been so merciful to me by allowing me to search out only once for a guru. I hope other bhaktas and bhaktins out there will take initiation from their guru maharaj or find a guru right for them.
I plan on helping my guru Maharaj as much as I can while he's here. Especially with his drama play I know he will need some help. Im happy I'll be plenty busy this weekend and also have fun at the same time. It's all in good fun doing service for Krishna's devotees this weekend and everyday. I still pray and hope my friend Dayal will come along with Konstantine and Kaustubha das on Sunday. A few other Cleveland devotees are coming too. I'll be hanging out with them this weekend for sure.
I just hope the weather won't ruin this entire weekend as it is supposed to rain. Hopefully it will only rain lightly thens stop and clear up. Today is beautiful outside. Just the right temperature and it's sunny. It looks pretty here when it's sunny outside.
Well the count down for the festival of inspiration is down to the final hours! Got to get myself ready!Hare Krishna
