Dancing days are here again!
As Giridhari blows on his flute Mahaprabhu’s sankirtan begins
Putting a blue flower over his ear
Dancing bent in three places his sweet tune draws everyone near
Gandharvika’s sari with mirrors polished like gold
Reflecting his image for all to behold
Big and fluffy rose leis of various colors today
While they’re swirling and dancing in their most attractive way
Respect to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa and then the gecko and I take off. There isn’t a second to loose for the vaikalika has taken place and now the sandhya is coming. The main road and through the parking lots of the rob a bank and the heliport. Crossing the bridge over the first highway we fix our gaze on the point just near the park of the clank of the aluminum bats. Quickly we round the curve to the tennis park and between the lakes. We pass the honky-tonks and bars along that street. There are cruisers on pink and yellow frames. One is there with streamers out of the handlebar. That cruiser is smiling big and wide perhaps relishing deeply the joy of pedaling near the ocean. The gecko and I have been through that and are not on that stage so we pedal harder for the time is drawing nigh. On the toad road we over take a paceline and not caring to join in we go ahead to the harbor and then the natasala where the guerillas of comedy are performing. The gecko has to depart here and I go on to the pedaler’s ramp down the ramp to the bear’s house. Then to wharf road that leads me back to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa where I fold my palms and streak on ‘cause the sandhya is approaching without caring for my desire to pedal forever. At the asrama door I fly up the stairs and back to blow the sank to see that all are in for the ceremony is about to begin.
For enjoyment Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari have entered deep within the far off jungle where they will take their rest tonight.
