"Look at the garlands!" That's what the first couple of people to see the Deities today said. There were Iris,Fusscia, roses, carnations. Giridhari's went around and under his left arm warpping around his right foot. It followed the curve in his stance. There were as many colors as there were flowers. That showed nicely against his yellow dress. Mahaprabhu's deep blue and Gandharvika's red-purple also made the garlands stand out. One said to anothe, "this is one you haven't seen yet" But it was a janmastami offering of a couple of years ago. "Well, it just looks so good, it's like I haven't seen it before" Krsna is the supreme hypnotist.
A more overcast day today. The pedalers were dressed in case of rain, but still they were out in force. Down by the beach two dogs chased each other from opposite sides of the street. One was big enough to make me take care that i not get in between them so they wouldn't come after me.
In the evening, the dress was simple enough that the Deities didn't have to wait so long for me to put it on them. Purple, green, gold and fusscia for Mahaprabhu. Giridhari has fusscia,green with a purple comberbund. Gandharvika is deep blue almost purple,with a fusscia polo.
