Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 At the end of the concert on Sunday evening at the Bass Hall in Dallas, TX, Sri Swamiji made an announcement regarding safety. Swamiji emphasized " Especially telugu devotees, please be careful in driving, .... " Two days ago (The Morning After The Concert), as I was driving away from the Embassy Suites Hotel, where Sri Swamiji's functions are being held, I took a right turn onto Parkwood Drive. I was in the left most lane, and saw one of our own, a Telugu Devotee, in a Honda, with Vastram and all, driving straight towards me. I believe he had taken a wrong turn into the wrong-way of a one-way street. Luckily, I was able to change lanes and avoid a head-on collision. For your safety's sake (and mine), in all that we do, please remember to stay sharp and focused on the task at hand and maintain awareness of your surroundings, belongings, etc. If you are in the car, mentally chant the Datta Raksha Mantra, whilst driving (instead talking or other distracting things), and double check your GPS directions, to make sure it is not asking you to turn into the wrong way of a one-way street (for instance). If Swamiji has said something, this gives us all a solid reason to be watchful/careful. In this instance, Dattatreya Hare Krishna would be singing Govinda right now, if not for His ever watchful grace.
