First thing I remember about the this outfit was offered
Is that was Gaura Purnima.
Then a phone call came and the man asked if I could delay
The service for he and his English class
So I came outside and watched the kirtaners perform the
Traditional songs
It was late on Gaura Purnima but when the curtain opened this outfit blew the devotees minds away.
Saint Patrick's Easter comes fashionably late.
That English teacher told his class that Gaura Purnima is our Saint Patrick's Day. Easter was coming near and the purple of the outfit one man said it was same shade as the priests wear for the Easter season.
More madhura hrdaya rose with big ones facing the world making the leis so wonderful, fragrant and filling SSM's instruction that they be so light that Sri Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari don't feel the weight.
What a day for pedaling just right for a pedaling lover. The ratha-bhojana-vrksa gets all respect and I go on to the main road. Light changes to red in front of a jingling spur then wave us through to keep pedaling on. The bridge over the first high way is full and takes some skilled pedaling to keep the rubber side down. Swinging left at the hospital curve on to the avenue of the old profession. The tennis park is on the left and the harbor is on the right. Heading for the natasala where people are gathering for this evening's show. The gecko waves as he pedals up beside me and we talk about humanity, how to charm the soul of society? Sing Gaura Haribol!
By now we've crossed the bridge over the first highway and sprinted back to the point of the hook. We spin over the opal cliff to the wharf to the snob hill. Left on to the main road and I take the right on to the long and winding while the gecko goes on home near the florist. I offer respect to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa and quickly as I can recite the visnu sahasra nama I reach the asrama door and begin the sunset service.
Under the stars and deep within the far off jungle Sri Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari dance the night away in their white outfit with flowers intertwined in embroidery on the white silk cloth.
