After a month in navadwip today it's yellow and blue combining as green. Other hands today saw the difference with their hair and all. Even though the same jewelry was there with Mahaprabhu's green and purple, Giridhari's yellow, purple and turquoise and Gandharvika's red to go with her blue sari, they do look a bit different. Today's garlands were an interesting mixture of flowers and stems. Some of the stems were put on through the center and between those were two or four put on sideways. hmmm.
Pedaling in navadvipa is much out of my league. There are walkers, riksaws with people and riksaws with hay stacked to the sky, buses, cars, motorcycles and sumos. Not only do all them use the same road but everyone travels in the middle. i believe that the left is the side they are supposed to use. There it's horns that determine who has right of way. Each form of transportation has it's own horn. So trying to squeeze through all the traffic, horns, stares that white folks always get it's way out of my league.
Back on this evening, the lions club which has jewelry. Giridhari must have been trying to either test my memory or play a joke on me by having another apprentice dress them up in day clothes and then asking if i was sure when i pointed it out to him. It's great to be back.
