In today's dress Gandharvika's coli goes on in a unique way. That is the left sleeve is sewn together in the usual way but the right side is open to be closed when dressing her in it. All part of the learning of what is the best way to make clothes for people who don't seem to move from one position. Of course the Deites do move but it's only visible to those who they choose. Srila Prabhupada told us that one day if we serve properly we would be able to see the Deities dance on the altar. Then it wouldn't be necessary to depend on how Giridhari's waist coat was lifted and the pleat of his dhoti was raised, will be able to see it happen..
Maybe the sun fried my brain a bit today. It was one of the first days of full warm sun this season and so many pedalers took full advantage. i pedaled my usual route but felt a bit more drained than usual. Blame it on the sunny day. Oh yeah.
This evening as i dressed them i was remembering how any touch of the true service of the Deities can kill all material desire. When will that day come?
