Today I did plent of Deity service.
The morning started off very nice. I didn't have any really bad back pains this morning. Mangal Aarti was also very nice. The kirtan was plenty estatic. I did Tulasi puja like I normally do and dedicated it to Maharaj as I did puja for Tulasi.
Then Bhagavatam class was given by Mother Malati. And she told the story of how Iskcon got the Krishna Book Published. Of course I had a big grin on my face about it because she did talke about George. :D Everytime I hear that story I always get a smile on my face.
Then I started my service afterwards. I cleaned up the pujari room and another mataji who was a guest who helped me to clean it a bit. I gave her a garland for helping. Then after that I went out to pick flowers for Krishna. I came back in and offered two flowers again to the small blue murti of Krishna in the temple's lobby. I also had to do the 12 noon deity plate transfer and then again at 4:30pm. Afterwards I helped Sachi Kripa make Lord Jagganatha's garland. I have to do the deity plate transfer again tonight at 7pm, and then do evening Tulasi puja.
It seemed like a pretty much full day. I even took a walk around by the apartments and saw a very tiny narrow creek along the road and walked along side it. I didn't walk for a full hour due to doing service later in the afternoon but i at least got outside some.
Four more days until Maharaj returns to Toronto, hopefully that week I'll be able to return to Toronto. I've been so anxious to go back. Krishna is teaching me patience...and boy is that a hard one for me. But Im working on it. :)
