Hiranya Padma, the golden lotus. Made and offered during SGM's visit in 1998 "many hands were there" the seamstress said. They did all the flower and other embroidery on this one. "There are so many flowers and colors in this dress that you can't make bad garlands" today's garland maker proclaimed. Today's had hyacinths, star gazers, roses, cameilias, and one of the maple tree family along with some lilacs. Down at the asrama where the water flows, the Deities' garlands extend to their toes.
Just to get out and pedal is so good for the soul. Taking the air on the road that leads to the asrama then by the ocean, the wharf and the opal cliffs, just makes it all easier to absorb the heckalers. As i went to get the swami's post someone stuck their little pointed head out their car window and screamed. Ha was all i could say and turned to return to the asrama.
The most blessed event, the night is warm and the moon is getting full, quite a night for the dance of the divine couple.
