It was brahma muhurta and throughout the house no people were chanting only the sound of the candan making mouse
Helping the Deities out of their beds i heard the prasadam hall door clatter and a breeze through the temple so I peaked out to see just what was passing there.
Who should the twinkling lights show was gliding as if on the wings of a dove?
Why none other that the kernel himself, the kernel of divine love.
Eating his burfi, the Lord was surprised whom had he seen? He could scarcely believe his eyes.
While the Lord played his flute after the conch shell's first toot the kernel was there chanting and dancing to boot.
The arati ended and so did this rhyme while the Lord appeared in his dress named parsley, sage, rosemary and time
Remember along with the deities I pray, and how the Kernel of divine love came to arati today.
Gandharvika's garland was so heavy today that it wouldn't stay in her hands. It kept slipping down and almost falling on the floor.
Did you put new eye make up on them? One of the folks asked me, "No" i explained, "i haven't done anything like that i a couple of years"
Pedaling along on the shadows of the late afternoon i'm so pleased that i got myself out here today. Part of me wanted to stay and absorb myself in the service concerns of the calendar and such but some how the pedaler in me won out and i went in a circle around the village to the corner of the school and back again. The first time around a license plate named it's vehicle the "birdvan" Then on my second pass over the restored road a beast went by me leaving the impression of an undercover cop. Sure enough it's occupant saw something unpalatable and the lights came on as the occupant completed a u turn and took off for the offending party. i continued along by now the pedaler's high had set in and i was able to finish the round and make it back for the sunset and Deity dressing.
And when they wear the red and cream chinese silk, that's the touch that kills. This evening i'm hoping that the lion on who's birthday this was offered will strike down the hrdayagrantha. Now it's time for them to happily engage in their pastimes
