The Spiritual Ego.

 So Anju n me while loafing around yesterday evening ended in the Iskcon temple.


There was kirtan going on and I requested that we would like to participate for just a little while.


The gang leader ...my God the arrogance on her face...and the way she asked me ...what can you sing?? as if we were  there to do some item song.


I understand they already have  fixed schedule and we were just new to them.


The tone could have been polite and saying NO is totally fine if done in a dignified manner.


Well everyone doesn't know that there is a word GRACE.


You may do 100 rounds of chants ...endless kirtan but if you don't have the humility and grace you are a piece of SHIT! 


Tall...dark....not always guys...but 

The spiritual ego !!! 


In the same breath I like to share the way Anju takes attendance for the online kirtan group in the evening and welcomes everyone to sing..chant ...speaks about the strength of this group.


As Ashish mentioned to me, this group is not a cult!


God bless you all ❤️.

Every one is precious.

By the way ..I did call the gang leader out on her arrogance in a dignified manner.

For me not a cult. I have my own spiritual beliefs and Higher Power. I enjoy the gathering of spiritual beings. Our voices support each other. At my age it is also important to have commitments.

Kirtan is a form of the connect with the God with spiritual vibrations and not to forget that during this the soul is in its true form of being humble and be able to connect with the almighty and the people around you .
