Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I too attended the Toronto program. I did not meet anyone from the list except for Viswanathan (and his wife). I got to sing 'Jaya Jaya Bhaya Bhanjini' (Victory to the remover of fear) during Devi Bhava -- Swami Amritatmananda was kind enough to give me some time during his slot. After the DB program, we went to the next door restaurant called Madras Palace or some such, where they were playing taped Sai Bhajans. We talked about how we would have liked Amma bhajans (since none of us were Sai devotees). On the way out of the restaurant, we saw a nice altar with Amma's picture. The waiters told us then that Amma had visited the restaurant that morning and had eaten there, and that they were one of the food donors for Amma's program. I found Toronto as a city a bit boring, but I did enjoy a trip to the top of CN Tower and to the Eaton Center Mall as well as to other nearby restaurants.

Madras Palace http://www.madraspalace.com/ are co-owned by a family of Amma devotees.. no suprise Amma would eat there or that they donated some of the Keralan food sold in the snack shop.. another good Indian restaurant (with an ad in the Toronto Amma program guide) is the Host http://www.welcometohost.com/ they have several locations in the Toronto area, including one in the mostly-Chinese shopping mall adjacent to the Sheraton Parkway. > I found Toronto as a city a bit boring like I said.. it's just another rust-belt US city, virtually indistinguishable from, say, Cleveland or Pittsburgh, that 1800-foot phallic symbol in the center of town notwithstanding.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Well, I liked Toronto a lot. In fact I liked Canada a lot. It is a sensible civilized place. Probably it is chock full of amma devotees.
