Kossara's Prayer II

My daughter, Aileen, attended some Indian dance lessons. The instructor said, "This next dance is particularly associated with Krishna but, if you prefer, you can think of Christ." Aileen and others replied, "Krishna is fine!" Hindu inclusiveness meets post-Christian inclusiveness.

Three figures that come together in my head are:

Krishna, teaching karma yoga;

the Buddha, teaching meditation;

Jesus, preaching the kingdom (a new consciousness and a new society).

This has brought us a long way from Kossara Vymezal addressing Father, Jesus, Mary and Holy Spirit but we are all human beings trying to make sense of life.
