“Rose petal garlands every day are just too boring” That’s what today’s garland maker told me. “So I used some mums and other kinds of flowers like lilies just to give some variety.” The mango for Mahaprabhu, yellow for Giridhari, and royal blue for Gandharvika, which is the color that she chooses for herself, is why this dress is called “Radha’s own.” The garlands are nice and different today.
Wow! No reason to pedal in the barn today. Starting around the opal cliffs to the pleasure point and then to the sunny cove where the light was bright today. Pedaling between the twin lakes up to the harbor. The road leads past the harbor where all the boats are anchored. Then turn it around and head back to the asrama for the sandhya.
The lions club met this evening. The first of the night dresses offered on Nrsingha Caturdasi. Night dresses became a tradition for a few years since Nrsinghadeva appeared at dusk, at the junction of day and night so the seamstress thought it good to make a night dress for that time of day.
