She'll be there with bells on. "There are bells on Gandharvika's skirt. That should be a clue for you. I mean for the name of the dress." That's what one of the young folk who was learning a little about the puja said to me on the Radhastami day this dress was offered. He was putting the skirt on her when he told me that. Then it made sense to me. After all Radharani is who Krsna teaches the worship of himself to the whole world through. So she's all the right things like cleanliness and punctuality. Those were the two most important things in deity worship as taught by Srila Prabhupada. So naturally She'll be there with bells on. Todays garlands have sunflowers in the centers and Gandharvika's has rotadendrum on the top.
Pedaling took me to the shop of one of the folks where they put tilak on my Gayanta. After that stop i went on to more errands out by the resturant to the parking lot behind a bank and hospital to the fruit market then a loop around to the cloth shop. By now i was once again under the lights. The opal cliff is a lot different that way. Even the sunny cove looks pleasing in a whole other way with the full moon light reflecting on it's water. The cold night air keeps the bon fire builders away so it's dark between the lakes. The old theater has a show this evening so it's lit up as it was in it's hay day and people line up outside waiting to be let in.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Bhakta Blade looked down and saw the biggest wolf spider ever he'd spied on his shirt this evening. He jumped nine and sixt tenth inches up and back so far he nearly broke the double glass door behind him.
The Deities are wearing the "It's a miracle mom" this evening. Mahaprabhu and Gandharvika have amazingly simple dresses. Only Giridhari's is very elaborate. His has pants that show through the opening in his long coat. His coat is light lavender the pants are gold lemay and his chodder is deeper purple. It puts him in the spot light for sure.
