Peacock effulgences. That's what the backdrop is with today's outfit. They're arranged in rows with colored stones in between. The colors match each Deity's dress. Mahaprabhu has green, Krsna's are red and Gandharvika's are blue. This dress is decorated with butterflies. i think the seamstress collected different sizes for months. Also different colors gold, blue, red, and a few green too. A very good dress for the winter time since Mahaprabhu and Krsna have velvet jackets. As i recall this one was also a Gaura Purnima outfit.
The storm broke for most of the day today. i was able to pedal out into the world for some time today. At least long enough to see which trees had been affected most.
This evening there was a festival for the disappearance of Saraswati Thakura. The devotees had so many things to say in his praise. He was a real reformer. He brought Krsna consciousness up to date from the days of Mahaprabhu to the present day. He gave the second inititation to those not born in brahmin families. Also he allowed married people and women to take part in his 'movement' If not for those changes the world would probably not have the Krsna consciousness movementit has today.
