Poem for Jul 11



Personal Stanza


Baladeva Vidyabhusana
is returning today after almost four days
in a visit to Isvara Govinda
in Rochester. Many little things
went wrong in his absence.
And now the helpers that we have had
are soon leaving. Baladeva from Trinidad
left yesterday and won’t be back until
December. Kaliya Damana is leaving
“for good” in a couple of weeks. When
Baladeva returns, he will have to
shoulder all the duties without helpers.
That means he gets sleep-deprived.
He is unable to shoulder the whole
burden by himself. We always need
one or two helpers besides Baladeva.
If anyone would like to come and
help with service at Viraha Bhavan,
they can contact Baladeva and see
if they are qualified. We need help
to serve at the guru’s asrama.
