"If I have a chance to meet with Giridhari I will worship time with garlands and sandalwood paste so those moments will last forever" Gandharvika prays those words so some say she's in with time. Her service is so very fine. Of course the offerings are accompanied by the ringing of bells so she is there with bells on. Rose and sumanas leis long and not too big around. New lights bring out the sunglasses on the most simple of us.
A dash to the main road just lifting my eyes long enough to respect the ratha-bhojana-vrksa. From there i make my way through the parking lots and up the small hill to the bridge over the first highway. The gecko meets me there and we go on past the park of the clank of the aluminum bat. The traffic pushes us all the way to the post office. We make a virtual "U" turn back to the wharf road. The sufferers are on the opal cliff and the tide is coming in. We take a left onto the road of the honky-tonks and bars. Just beyond a trailer park we make another left onto the road that leads to the sunny cove. It's full of people come to escape the heat hoping it will be all right. The windmill is on the right and people are once again taking their coffee outside to drink and observe the passing show. The natasala is dark this evening the festival is over. At his shop the gecko has to take leave to close up. i go around to the cruiser king's he's also closing down so i go on past the dog wash to the pedaler's ramp. The toad greets me and pedals along past the navapatra and on to the wharf road. At the main road we take the left fast to sneak between the beasts at the stop sign. Then a right onto the asrama road where the ratha-bhojan-vrksa gets our folded palms in respect. An early dressing calls me back to the asrama.
The new dress in honor of the Nrsimhacaturdasi is called Hiranyakasipu. That's because hiranya means gold and kasipu means soft bed. The cloth in this one is yellow and gold with wispy gold netting. Also it's a nightdress so it all seems to fit in. Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari enjoy their pastimes to their full satisfaction, lying down only for a moment.
