The peacock feather dress, Mayur. Giridhari had a vijaynti garland today. That is five different color flowers and it goes to his knees. There were yellow roses, orange marigolds, red dalias, purple dalias, and pink roses. Even here where there are so many flowers growing on the Deities' land that's a rare thing. Mahaprabhu and Gandharvika didn't have but three or four colors. The garland maker began with Giridhari's and put the most effort there. The way the feathers in this dress have held up for so many years is remarkable. A testament to the hard work put in on them.
As i pedaled by the sunny cove i came upon four geese and i had to ask if they hadn't gone for the winter. They simply answered "oh don't be silly". Time krept up on me and beckoned me back to the asrama, just in time to offer the sandhya. The older folks pedaling for a personal best or to do some errands not so many others. They must all be recovering from the SCcounty century of Sunday. One hundred miles is so many ways around the county.
This evening i found that Krsna is a brahmacari. Since Giridhari is dressed in mostly orange it looks as if he's taking the color of the brahmacari asrama..
