Well my trip to Canada did not go so well. I had difficulty with the bus when i got to Erie PA. They had apparently cancelled the bus to Buffalo New York and they said we had to take a bus to Cleveland to get to it. So I was in Cleveland for three hours 11pm till 2am. The rest of the way went smoothly. I finally reached the border. And they had to take me into immigration. That did not go so well. They asked me so many questions even though I followed to what my guru instructed me to say to them. But they went into deeper details about my stay in Canada. So they could not let me through due to financial reasons and also proof of address. They had to send me back to the United States. It was another long bus ride all the way back to West Virginia. The bus went okay up until I got to Pittsburgh. They said my bus wouldn't leave Pittsburgh for Wheeling until 7am the next morning after I got to Pittsburgh at 5pm. So I had called Mother Siki and she had found someone to pick me up in Pittsburgh. ChandraShankar picked me up. While I waited for him to come I chatted on the phone with Mother Sudevi and also Mandakini. I got back to the temple safely around 10pm last night. I still feel a bit exhausted from yesterday but I'll be fine.
So even though I was rejected by Canada, apparently Sri Sri Radha Vrndavan Chandra didn't want me to leave again so soon. Some devotees welcomed me back. Bhaktin Shannon said she'd work along with me with service. I did get some of my old services back like cleaning the pujari room and deity plate transfer I might help out with the dishes too but I think they already have someone else doing that. Later today Bhaktin Shannon and I will go out to pick flowers for the Deities garlands and she said i might help her with making some garlands again.
Tomorrow I have to talk to Jaya Krishna about what will happen to me in the future. I told him I am not going anywhere any time soon as I have no choice at the moment but to stay here in New Vrndavan. Madhavendra Puri said he's still try to help me get back to Canada again by having a letter stating I am a religious worker and that they will take care of me there during the months I stay. But we will see what Krishna arranges and wants me to do. I hope I can get a hold of Maharaj too but he pretty much already knows what's going on.
