\nBhakta Dustin, a Hare Krishna devotee, was given the honour of singing the National Anthem to open the first holiday caucus dinner of the recently elected Canadian liberal government.
\nNewly elected Canadian Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau along with his wife Mrs. Gr\u00e9goire-Trudeau, affectionately known as \u201cSofie\u201d, hosted the gala event of almost three thousand elite guests.
\nAfter singing the Canadian National Anthem opposite the legendary Richard Margison, one of the most critically acclaimed singers on the international stage today, Bhakta Dustin and Richard were ushered to the prime minister\u2019s table by several staffers at the specific request of the honorable prime minister.
\nAlthough Bhakta Dustin didn\u2019t get a lot of time to speak with the Prime Minister, he did get to speak at length with the prime minister\u2019s wife Sofie, \u201cwho is truly an amazing women and truth seeker\u201d says Bhakta Dustin.
\n\u201cShe said that the difference between\u00a0Justin Trudeau\u00a0and Harper, is that Justin leads with devotion, \u201cBhakti”. I was so inspired. After our long conversation we both, with folded hands, paid our obeisance\u2019s to each other and she said “Hare Krishna!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
