Now if the kirtan leader sang the wrong line what would you do?
Would you try and quietly provide the right one or if no one else seemed to notice would you go along too?
Ask the seamstress to make a new outfit of deep forest green
Would you go to get a sheet of lyrics and place it before leader ji?
With silvery pleats and flowers on the chodders
Or would you consider that sarvasya caham hrdi sanivistho
Mattah smrtir jnanam apohanam ca? Seated in the heart of the kirtan leader, Giridhari himself cause the forgetfulness
And offer it on Guru Maharaja’s appearance day.
With leis of rose petals that look so just right.
Oh ratha-bhojana-vrksa let praises be and then go on around the southland and cross the bridge over the first highway. The gecko is there and we take the whaler’s hill with a bit of a huff and puff since the wind is blowing hard. There’s road work going on near the leaping monque but we sneak around with the several other pedalers. Bhakta Blade has gone to take permission to motorize his dui cakra ratha so he isn’t in his kutir. We’re sprinting now to the great blue whale. Seeing the skeleton we marvel and slow a bit. Then it’s back out the way we came. “What did Della wear?” I ask the gecko. “She wore her new jersey” he answers. The ramps are empty like I’ve never seen. With Saint Dagwood’s park on the left we round the shopper’s corner. The gecko’s shop is there and he takes leave to close. I go on to the harbor where boats are still out. The sunny cove is full of sufferers today. The beasts force me through the east cliff. Maybe it’s Vayu’s influence or maybe it’s a weekday but there are few people along the cliff. Sprinting alone to the opal cliff where I pass an e-pedaler. He looks on in disbelief. The wharf road as usual, takes me to the long and winding where I bow to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa. The sandhya is about to begin and I enter in and join in.
This evening Krsna is a brahmacari in his orange dhoti. Gandharvika is in purple and orange. Mahaprabhu adds white to the mix. Dressed as they are they go off to dance the night away and lie down only for a moment.
