Well my guru Maharaj begins his 4th walk across Canada. Last night we had held a suprise send off party for him. Unfortunately I could not attend the party last night as I was too exhausted from Sunday and yesterday from doing service. Maharaj actually made me stop doing service yesterday because he didn't want me to fall apart. He wanted me to rest so I did. Tara had recorded a bit of it so I watched it. It was so nice to see that Maharaj was happy about the suprise party. Maharaj has brochures of him about is walk across Canada. Mother Subhuddhi let me have one since Maharaj has a whole bunch of them to distribute while he's out for his walk.
Today my godbrother Ramachandra das Prabhu had visited the temple. We spent some time catching up together and we also had lunch with Maharaj and chatted with him outside his office. It's always nice to have my guru Maharaj's association. Especially now since he's doing so much travelling these days. So I try to relish his association.
Im happy he's going on his walk across Canada but at the same time I will miss him a lot. He does mean a lot to me. I just hope he will be careful and Im glad he's taking someone with him to help him and also for emergencies if any. I hope the person with him will take pictures of Maharaj walking. We don't have enough photos of Maharaj walking. I would love to see some of those. I am also interested to see what kind of people he will meet. Today in class he was telling us about these drunk guys he ran into on one of his walks and it was quite humorous, but this is one reason why I worry about him walking late at night because of strange people that are out there and could be dangerous. Ive heard quite a few scary stories about Maharaj's walks like the one time he stepped on a catfish at a beach while walking, and then another time I heard a bear had followed him. and this was no small bear too they said it was a HUGE bear possibly a grizzly bear. But anyways I look forward to reading about his walking adventures for the next three weeks. :)
