Saturday was a very good day. I went with my students to the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork. Caru Das is someone I consider a dear friend and spiritual mentor. After a brief tour of the temple and an introductory overview of Hinduism, the students worked hard cleaning up the grounds, feeding animals and reorganizing parking spaces.
I've been acquainted with Caru and Vai for 16 years. I haven't attened services there for some time so I stopped by on Sunday to listen to Caru's lecture. It was such a unique twist on the topic of faith, given articulately and from first-hand experiences. Every time I listen to Caru I have a feeling of peace and a desire to search my innermost motives and yearnings more deeply. It's a feeling of, coming home.
I appreciate the diversity and unity that religions offer. Hiduism, as preached and practiced in Spanish Fork, is definitely a philosophy that unites.
