By Dr. Dhanpaul Narine    

What the Lord wants He gets! How else can one explain why He granted permission for a bunch of penniless sinners in Lanka to hold one of the biggest events in His name?

The event was of course Ramayana in the Park 2015. It was held at the Arya Spiritual Center Ground in Richmond Hill, the home of Lord Rama’s leelas. And verily hundreds came out, young and old, rich and poor and from far and near to sing the praises of Lord Rama. The Ramayana in the Park Inc. Committee faced great odds to make the event happen.

The bus stops at 133 Street and Liberty Avenue. The lady exits and runs to the roti shop for shelter from the rain. In no time she starts a conversation with one of the shoppers.

She has this friend who has a daughter. The problem is that the daughter was involved in a business wedding. She was supposed to divorce the man in a few weeks. But now he is refusing.
